Water Main Project to begin on Coastal Highway later this month

OCEAN CITY, Md. – The Town of Ocean City says a public works water main project is slated to begin on Coastal Highway later this month.

We’re told a contractor working for the Town will begin construction and installation of a raw water main on October 24th. Raw water is non-treated water pumped from the various wells in Ocean City to the water treatment facilities for future water system expansions.

Construction will take place on Coastal Highway, affecting northbound travel from 33rd Street to 45th Street and 51st Street to 66th Street. Residents and visitors should expect traffic delays in these areas and are urged to use caution and slow down. Water flow in the streets may occur in these areas.

Officials say the work is expected to be completed in March of 2023, weather dependent.
