MD 135 Project Will Last Into Fall

Maryland’s Department of Transportation State Highway Administration begins a slope stabilization project today that will continue into fall. A temporary traffic signal will alternate one-lane traffic on Maryland Route 135 between Grant Street and the Garrett County line. SHA spokesperson Charlie Gischlar talked to WCBC about why the work is needed following last May’s flooding in the area…
