Reisterstown Road Water Transmission Main Replacement (Designated Phase III)
Baltimore County is working on a major water main project, replacing 16,000 feet of line in Reisterstown Road between Pleasant Hill Road and Stocksdale Avenue. The three miles of new 16- and 20-inch diameter line is 99 percent complete. Crews continue to install services across Reisterstown Road.

Falls Road Water Main Replacement and Rehabilitation
The Department of Public Works and Transportation is replacing more than 11,000 feet of water line on Falls Road between the Baltimore City line and Brightfield Road near Interstate 695. The project, which will cost approximately $10.5 million, is about 83 percent complete. The project is scheduled for completion in the spring. The replacement of the line—sections of which are more than 90 years old—will improve the reliability of the system. Much of the construction will be done between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m., and ingress and egress will be coordinated with (and provided for) all property owners. Falls Road will not be closed during construction but there will be some lane closures during the day to accommodate construction schedules. Falls Road carries about 18,000 cars daily. There will be traffic delays.
Information: Questions should be directed to the Division of Construction Contracts at 410-887-3531.

The discharge water main is approximately 9,500 feet in length. Work includes, but is not limited to, construction of the new 42-inch and 30-inch water main, and construction of a 72-inch tunnel across I-695. The project began last year and is expected to take two years to complete at a cost of $20.2 million dollars. The project is 55 percent complete.
