Mohrs Lane Bridge

The Mohrs Lane Bridge (Bridge B-0143) over the CSX Railroad, north of Pulaski Highway, was closed in 2007 because of structural deterioration. Demolition was completed by CSX in 2011 and Baltimore County assumed ownership with plans to rebuild the span. A new bridge is awaiting the completion of the engineer’s design. The structure is scheduled to be advertised for construction this year. The final plans are almost complete. The National Environmental Policy Act package was submitted to the Federal Highway Administration for reevaluation in April. This bridge will be part of the future Campbell Boulevard Corridor.
