The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) has resumed its regular schedule for roadwork on roads it maintains and is not scheduled to suspend it again this weekend, according to SHA spokesman Charlie Gischlar. "The holidays are over, so everybody's back on schedule," Gischlar said. Over the past two weekends, for the holidays, the SHA suspended roadwork on Friday at 9 a.m. and did not resume work until 9 a.m. the following Tuesday. All roads were open to traffic during that time.

Here is the list of road closures for Monday, May 16: •  Md. 550 in Thurmont, Md., is still closed in both directions between Eylers Valley Flint Road and Kelbaugh Road due to a mudslide that occurred April 17. The Maryland State Highway Administration says it is still unsure when it will reopen. •  The right shoulder lane on I-70 westbound is closed just past Downsville Pike, according to the Maryland State Highway Administration's website. The website is reporting that the closure will last until Thursday, May 19.

The McDade Road bridge over U.S. 40 reopened about two weeks ago, Maryland State Highway Administration spokeswoman Kellie Boulware said Wednesday. The bridge had been closed since August 2003. Boulware said the bridge was closed for routine repairs, including improving the bridge deck and piers.

The Maryland State Highway Administration advises motorists in Washington County to expect overnight lane closures starting Monday as SHA resurfaces eastbound I-70 between U.S. 40 (Dual Highway/National Pike) and Md. 66 (Mapleville Road) east of Hagerstown. Weather permitting, the project will be complete by June 30, the SHA said in a news release. The $1.2 million project includes milling, resurfacing and restriping the 2 1/2-mile section of highway, which serves an average of about 30,000 eastbound vehicles per day. The SHA said motorists should anticipate single-lane closures Monday through Thursday nights between 7 p.m. and 4 a.m. as well as possible single-lane closures Sunday mornings between midnight and 11 a.m. SHA will use signs, cones and barrels to guide motorists through the work zone.
