Pothole Repairs and Resurfacing Projects Underway Across Maryland
(May 28, 2025) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration anticipates improving nearly 3,400 lane miles of pavement across Maryland through patching and resurfacing efforts during Fiscal Year 2026, which begins July 1.
Thanks to additional transportation resources provided in Governor Moore's Fiscal Year 2026 budget, the Maryland Department of Transportation is investing in projects that will improve the safety and reliability of our network, spur economic growth and ensure our transportation system is in a state of good repair. This additional funding will enable the State Highway Administration to restore critical system preservation funding dedicated to the resurfacing and rehabilitation of state highways.
These investments support the State Highway Administration's continued commitment to improving safety and ride quality for hundreds of thousands of daily commuters and visitors, as well as those who move goods throughout the State. A well-maintained and reliable highway system is essential for growing our economy and supporting small businesses across Maryland.
The $143.2 million investment in our roads over the six-year capital program will allow the State Highway Administration to move forward with corridor resurfacing, patching and filing potholes on state highways across Maryland. These funds will also allow the Department to unlock federal funds to support additional resurfacing. New pavement markings and line striping will enhance safety for all highway users, including pedestrians and bicyclists. Additionally, smooth riding surfaces will reduce wear and tear on vehicles.
Many projects are already underway; larger pavement improvement projects beginning this summer include:
- MD 144 (Frederick Road) between I-695 (Baltimore Beltway) and the Baltimore/Howard County line in Baltimore County.
- MD 45 (York Road) between the Towson Roundabout and Newell Avenue near Towson University in Baltimore County.
- MD 210 (Piscataway Highway) between Seneca Drive and the Washington D.C. line in Prince George's County.
- MD 272 (North East Road) between Rogers Road and Lums Road in Cecil County.
- Southbound US 50/US 13 (Salisbury Bypass) between MD 12 (Snow Hill Road) and Stockyard Road in Wicomico County.
- MD 17 between Myersville and Middletown in Frederick County.
- MD 32 between MD 144 (Frederick Road) and MD 99 (Old Frederick Road) in Howard County.
- MD 36 (New George's Creek Road SW) between Church Street and MD 55 (Vale Summit Road) in Allegany County.
