Pulaski Highway resurfacing is bringing overnight lane closures to eastern Harford County from September 13 through late October. Drivers should expect slower trips on US 40 between Abingdon and Belcamp, as noted by Baltimore Chronicle. The Maryland State Highway Administration says the project covers about 1.5 miles of roadway.
The work affects US 40 between Long Bar Harbor Road and MD 543, also known as Creswell Road. Crews are scheduled overnight to reduce daytime disruption.
When Pulaski Highway lane closures are scheduled
Work will run from 8 p.m. until 5 a.m. from Sundays through Thursdays. Single- and double-lane closures will be introduced where crews need additional space.
The schedule is weather dependent. Rain or other unsuitable conditions will push paving to the next available weeknight.
Drivers should plan around these key details:
- Start: September 13, 2026
- Hours: 8 p.m.–5 a.m.
- Workdays: Sunday through Thursday
- Area: Long Bar Harbor Road to MD 543
- Expected completion: late October
Extra travel time is most likely during overnight construction hours. MDOT SHA is asking motorists to remain alert and follow posted speed limits through the work zone.
What crews will do on US 40
The project goes beyond laying a new surface. Crews will patch damaged asphalt, mill existing pavement and resurface sections in both directions.
New pavement markings will also be applied where required. The state lists Allan Myers MD Inc. of Fallston as the contractor for the $1.2 million project.
| Project detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Highway | US 40 Pulaski Highway |
| Length | About 1.5 miles |
| Location | Abingdon to Belcamp |
| Cost | $1.2 million |
| Completion | Late October |
The closures are temporary, but they affect a busy eastern Harford County corridor. Drivers traveling at night should allow extra time and watch for changing lane patterns.
Why Harford County drivers should expect delays
US 40 carries local and through traffic between communities in eastern Harford County. Closing 1 or 2 lanes overnight can create short bottlenecks near active paving equipment.
The county has also listed the project among its current road closure and resurfacing notices. Officials describe the work as weather dependent and advise motorists to expect delays until the project is completed.
