Resurfacing For Chapel, Forge, Bangert in Perry Hall

Three northeastern Perry Hall roadways are slated for facelifts this fall.

Councilman David Marks on Tuesday announced plans to resurface the entire 1.1-mile stretch of Chapel Road, from Joppa to Belair Roads; the 2.9-mile stretch of Forge Road; and the .92 mile length of Bangert Avenue.

Specific dates for the projects and possible detours have not yet been released.

Marks worked to prevent and reduce planned widening projects for Chapel Road and Forge Road last year. During those processes, he emphasized the need to resurface both.

"I thank County Executive Kamenetz for supporting my request to resurface five miles of heavily-traveled roads in Perry Hall.  I would also like to thank Senator J.B. Jennings and Delegate Kathy Szeliga, both of whom have advocated for these important improvements in their district," Marks stated in a press release.

"Every day, thousands of motorists use these roads, including residents from the developing neighborhoods along the Forge Road corridor. Getting these roads improved has been a top priority," he added.

Dennis M. Robinson, Jr., president of the Perry Hall Improvement Association, added his support.

“I recognize that, like many other jurisdictions throughout the country, Baltimore County has to prioritize projects during these challenging economic times. I applaud County Executive Kamenetz and Councilman Marks for allocating resources to make improvements to roads that many of us in Perry Hall use on a regular basis,” Robinson stated in the announcement.
