Election Day detours announced for some Talbot Co. voters

EASTON, Md. – With a portion of Route 662 in Talbot County closed for construction of the new regional medical center, local voters using the roadway to reach their polling place at the Talbot County Community Center will need to consider an alternate route on Election Day.

Detours are being issued to enable drivers to come to the Community Center from westbound Route 50 to avoid crossing Route 50 where there is no traffic light. Those preferring to not turn left across Route 50 to enter the Community Center should take the following detour:

• From Route 50 north, turn left at Airport Road and follow it to Goldsborough Neck Road, then turn right
• From Route 662 north, turn left at Airport Road and follow it to Goldsborough Neck Road, then turn right
• At the fork of Goldsborough Neck and Hailem School Road, bear right and follow Hailem School Road to its dead end at Longwoods Road, then turn right
• Drive a short distance on Longwoods Road and turn left on Hiners Lane, which leads to the back entrance of the Talbot County Community Center
