State Highway Admin. Begins $3.5M Project on US 50 in Hebron

HEBRON, Md. – The Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) State Highway Administration has begun construction on a $3.5 million project to improve safety and traffic flow at the intersection of US 50 (Ocean Gateway) and Old Railroad Road. 

The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2026, weather permitting. The scheduled work includes:

• installing a traffic signal,
• adding signal control to all movements with the exception of right turns from eastbound and westbound Old Railroad Road, which will remain as yield-controlled movements to US 50,
• update signage and pavement markings,
• concrete channelization for left turns, and
• installation of LED “Red Signal Ahead” signs in advance of the intersection.

The State has employed Contractor Traffic Systems Inc. for the duration of the project.

Drivers are asked to stay alert, focused, and be aware of reduced speed limits and driving patterns in work areas. For project updates, click here.
