Hampstead, MD, August 11, 2025 –The Department of Public Works will begin bridge construction work on Upper Beckleysville Road this week.  The bridge and associated roadway were closed on April 11, 2025, due to advanced deterioration.

After several months of preparation and obtaining required approvals from both the federal and state governments, contractors are expected to start construction today. Project completion is expected within a year, weather permitting.

Carroll County appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation with any travel delays or difficulties the roadway closure and construction project may cause. Please contact the Division of Engineering at (410) 386-2157 for additional information or with any questions regarding this matter.
