Garrett to shift road affected by sink holes

Posted: Thursday, August 7, 2014 11:09 am

BARTON — Bore samples taken from Aaron Run Road have determined that the sink hole area was much deeper than the Maryland Department of Environment Bureau of Mines had anticipated, according to Jay Moyer, director of the Garrett County Department of Public Works.

“Therefore pile driving of sheeting to create a stable shoulder is not an option,” said Moyer.

 The road has been closed since May 17. In order to restore the road surface, a right of way has been obtained from the adjacent property owner, according to Moyer.

“This will allow the road to be shifted to the north and should help reduce the total cost of the project,” said Moyer. “The property owner agreed to participate by donating the land needed and this was accomplished by the county agreeing to upgrade the entrance to the private property.”
