York Road Pipe Installation Delayed Again, Roundabout Planned for Ridgely Rd.

The most recent District 3 newsletter points to two traffic-related updates that will affect Timonium drivers.

First the good news: County contracting crews are taking a break from installing a new pipe under York Road for the winter, meaning traffic should flow more easily through the normally congested, major Lutherville-Timonium thruway.  Now the bad news: While the break is good for drivers in the interim, it means that crews once again missed a projected deadline to complete the project, which began back in April 2010. This could become problematic for the old pipe, which is prone to breaks in freezing temperatures.  Back in July, Patch reported that Burgermeister Bell—the County’s contractor for this project—had lost 60 working days due to excessive rain.

The anticipated date of completion has been pushed back to November from its original June or July end time, according to the Councilmanic District 3 newsletter. Patch is waiting to hear back from the county as to why. Although the water pipe should be fully installed by November of this year,  resurfacing efforts could extend into next spring. The project is about 75 percent complete.  "Baltimore County’s contractors are replacing 9,500 feet of old water line in York Road, between Ridgely and Padonia Roads," the newsletter reads.

I see no good excuse for this delay. We have had a Winter with no snow and very little cold, and a Spring and Summer with little rain, so, weather can't be blamed.
