Bridge Work Set Back By High Waters
Flood waters stalled bridge work south of Frederick Junction delaying the Monocacy river bridge project by at least three weeks. Conduit and Foundation Corporation crews assess loss to equipment and salvage options while coffer dams and river work suffer damage. Grading on the Washington expressway and a Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bridge also slowed by mud and high water with a new Route 15 bridge set to start around early April.
