Nanjemoy, MD — After a three-month closing, the MD 224 Bridge over a branch of the Potomac River in Nanjemoy is back in service.
Work was finished Monday, Sept. 2 and the bridge opened on Tuesday. The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration closed the bridge in June.
Drivers took MD 6, Greenleek Hill Road and Sandy Point Road for the detour route while contractors removed the existing single-span concrete-slab bridge and constructed a new single-span, two-lane concrete slab bridge.
There’s still a little bit of work to be done on the $2 million project like landscaping and adding signs. That work will be carried out during the daytime with a flagging operation during the early fall.
MDOT thanked drivers for their patience during the project.
