County officials said similar back-ups are not expected for the remainder of the project, which is set to wrap in September.
The ongoing work to upgrade a main sewer line along Riva Road caused significant traffic tie-ups during Wednesday’s rush, but county officials said similar delays aren’t expected for the remainder of the project. Matt Diehl, county spokesman, said the rush-hour lane closures were necessary on Wednesday because the contractor had to use heavy equipment to unload several truckloads of 20-foot pipes. “We apologize for the inconvenience to motorists as we work to improve the reliability of our utility infrastructure,” Diehl said in an email to Patch. “Despite the use of flaggers for safety and the contractor’s adherence to the Maintenance of Traffic plan detailed in their contract, they have been instructed to only unload future deliveries …

The improvements to the Park and Ride facility off of Riva Road in Annapolis should be completed by spring.
As snow covers Greater Annapolis, many residents may already be gearing up for the warmth of spring. For those who commute to Washington D.C. using the Harry S.
