SALISBURY — The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) will begin construction on a project to improve safety and improve intersection operations at the MD 12 (Snow Hill Road) and Robins Avenue intersection in Salisbury. The project should be complete by the end of the year, weather permitting.

Beginning Monday, June 10, crews will work 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Drivers can expect single-lane closures during the project.

Work on the project includes:

• widening northbound MD 12 to add a left-turn lane with bicycle compatibility; 
• widening Robins Avenue to add dedicated left- and right-turn lanes;
• constructing new ADA-compliant sidewalk along MD 12 from Robins Avenue to the existing sidewalk at Johnson Road;
• installing a new full-color traffic signal;
• upgrading stormwater management facilities;
• resurfacing the pavement; and 
• improving signage and pavement markings. 

The State Highway Administration appreciates customers’ patience during construction as we work to improve Maryland’s transportation system. Drivers are asked to stay alert, and focused and be aware of reduced speed limits and driving patterns. Slow down and move over in work zones. It’s the law. Motorists in need may dial #77 on their mobile devices for assistance.
