Intersection Improvement on Rt. 50 in Hebron Wraps Up
OCEAN CITY, Md. – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration recently completed construction on a project to improve safety and traffic flow at the intersection of US 50 (Ocean Gateway) and Old Railroad Road in the Hebron area.
The $1.3 million project began construction in January, and included the following:
- 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 channelized yield-controlled movements to US 50;
- updating signage and pavement markings;
- adding concrete channelization for left turns and
- installing overhead LED “Red Signal Ahead” signs in advance of the intersection.
The newly installed traffic signal will be turned on a 72-hour flash mode beginning Monday, Jul. 6. While the traffic signal is in flash mode, the median will remain closed. Variable message signs will be in place to alert motorists to the new traffic signal.
The signal is expected to be fully operational by Thursday, Jul. 9, weather permitting.
