Harford County Hosts Hess Road Bridge Replacement Hearing

Baltimore County Department of Public Works officials are encouraging residents to attend a public hearing to discuss the Hess Road bridge replacement project at the Veronica "Roni" Chenoweth Activity Center in Harford County.

The proposed project involves the crossing of Hess Road over Little Gunpowder Falls, which is located on the border of Harford and Baltimore counties, near Monkton.

"It's going to be a discussion on widening the bridge to bring it in line with current standards," said David Fidler, a spokesman for the Department of Public Works. "This would require the two counties to share their points of view and give everyone a chance to say what they want."

The meeting is scheduled to take place at 6 p.m., Oct. 11 at the activity center, which is located at 1707 Fallston Road in Fallston.
