In a recent press release issued by the Garrett County Government, it has been announced that the anticipated reopening of Glendale Road is facing delays due to a combination of unfavorable weather conditions and disruptions in the supply chain. While the county had initially planned to reopen the road within a certain timeframe, these unforeseen circumstances have prompted a necessary adjustment of the reopening timeline. As of now, a specific date for the road’s reopening has not been finalized.
With the upcoming first day of the public school year in Garrett County scheduled for September 5th, local authorities have taken proactive steps to ensure a smooth transition for students and families. Two school bus routes have been strategically modified to accommodate the detoured traffic pattern resulting from the ongoing Glendale Road closure. It is reassuring to note that the local Transportation Advisory Council group has carefully evaluated the situation and anticipates only minimal disruptions to school bus operations due to the detour.
Since June 14th, the southern segment of Glendale Road has remained closed to traffic as part of a comprehensive realignment project. This extended closure period has been instrumental in enabling crucial maintenance work, including drainage enhancements and road resurfacing activities. The scope of this project encompasses the road section spanning from Route 219 to the entrance of Zeddock Miller Road.
Upon the eventual reopening of Glendale Road, it is important to be aware that Zeddock Miller Road will experience its own temporary closure for approximately three weeks. This closure is necessary to facilitate essential updates to the tie-in entrance connecting Zeddock Miller Road with Glendale Road.
Community members and commuters are advised to stay informed through official channels such as Garrett County Government communications and local news outlets for any further developments regarding the Glendale Road reopening and associated road closures. The county is committed to ensuring the safety and convenience of all residents during these necessary infrastructure improvements, and your understanding and cooperation are greatly appreciated.
