Water leak repair work on Baltimore Street
Chris Myers
On Tuesday, February 10, 2025 from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, the City of Cumberland water department will be repairing a water leak on the Baltimore Street bridge. There will be no interruption of water service, but the following traffic patterns changes will be in place:
Traffic Pattern Changes
- Southbound Mechanic Street: Traffic will be diverted onto Frederick Street. Motorists can then use Queen City Drive to bypass the closed portion of Mechanic Street.
- Northbound Mechanic Street: Vehicles will be detoured onto Harrison Street, then to Queen City Drive, to avoid the closed section. Those traveling to the west side of the city or into West Virginia should use I-68 West and exit at Beall Street to access Greene Street.
- Southbound Bedford Street: Motorists will be redirected at Mechanic Street onto Frederick Street and then to Queen City Drive.
- Northbound Greene Street: As in previous years, turning onto Washington or Cumberland Streets from Greene Street will not be permitted. Traffic will be funneled into a single lane prior to Baltimore Street. From there, only a right turn onto Mechanic Street or continuing straight onto Baltimore Street will be allowed.
- Tractor-Trailers: All tractor-trailer traffic is advised to avoid the downtown area and use Queen City Drive as an alternate route.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience while our crews complete their work.
