Road Closure Starts Monday While Crews Drill Geotechnical Borings, Test Holes In HoCo

HOWARD COUNTY, MD — A crew will drill geotechnical borings and test holes along Church Road and Emory Street in Historic Ellicott City starting Monday in order to investigate below ground conditions. The holes will be backfilled once the work is done, which the county estimates will be early October.

Signs will be posted to alert drivers and pedestrians of the project as Emory Street from Church Road north to Court Avenue will be closed to all vehicular and foot traffic during construction hours, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. "No parking" signs will be posted on Emory Street and will remain in effect until the work has been completed.

Drivers are to follow a clearly marked detour using Main Street and Court Avenue to get around the work zone, according to the county.
