Group Forms to Seek Route 312 Upgrades in Caroline County
Residents of Ridgely and upper Caroline County organized the Route 312 Improvement Association led by Edward Sparks to press for improvements to nine miles of State Route 312 between Ridgely and Baltimore Corner. An organizational meeting at the Ridgely fire hall drew 19 residents as a mass meeting was planned with State Senator Hughes and County Commissioners, citing danger from the road’s narrow width and upcoming traffic from a $750,000 addition to St. Benedictine School for Exceptional Children.
