Public Comment Open on Hotel Road Bridge Replacement in Bishopville


Timber-beam Bridge on Hotel Road near Bishopville

Worcester County Public Works will begin to replace the Hotel Road Bridge in Bishopville in September. Hotel Road will be closed at the bridge with detours put in place. The closure is expected to last about 120 days – or 4 months. The timber-beam bridge received unsatisfactory sufficiency ratings during the County’s annual bridge inspection program. This project is eligible for funding through the Highway Bridge Program. Public comments will be accepted through August 10th regarding the bridge replacement project.

Please direct comments regarding the bridge replacement project to Roads Superintendent Kevin Lynch at klynch@worcestermd.gov. For additional information, including detour routes and a complete project description, visit www.worcestermd.gov.
