BEL AIR, MD — The Ma and Pa Trail will be temporarily closed Monday and Tuesday for crews to clean out the culverts along a stretch of trail.

The closure on both days will run from 2 to 5 p.m. between the Gateway Drive access and where the bypass crosses Tollgate Road, according to Harford County Department of Public Works. This is the portion of the trail that stretches between Route 24 and Tollgate Road.

Crews will be using large equipment in order to clean the trail, so the county asks that everyone follow the posted signs and avoid the area for the time being.
