2 Bridges On Ma & Pa Trail To Close Temporarily

BEL AIR, MD — Two bridges along the Ma & Pa Trail will close for repairs this week. Harford County Parks & Recreation will be conducting maintenance on the bridges, one at a time.

First, crews will close the bridge along the part of the trail that passes under the US 1 bypass along Tollgate Road for repairs, according to a statement from Harford County government.

Days after, the bridge where the Liriodendron spur trail links to the main trail will be repaired, so that one will close. That bridge is about 0.75 mile south of the Williams Street trailhead.

Bridge repairs are necessary to ensure the safety of trail users, officials say.

There will be signs posted around the bridges alerting people about the closures.

Repairs will take place between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. starting Monday, Sept. 30. Repairing each bridge may take two to three days, according to Harford County government.
