Lusby, MD – The Cove Point Liquefaction Project Team is advising motorists to plan for possible nighttime traffic delays Thursday night, May 19, 2016.
Delays are possible between 9 p.m. Thursday, May 19, and 5 a.m. Friday, May 20, on MD Route 2/4 from the Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge north to Cove Point Road and east on Cove Point Road to the entrance to the Dominion Cove Point LNG facility.
The transports are an important part of the Dominion Cove Point Liquefaction Project. The largest equipment arrives by barge at the temporary pier in Solomons. From there, it is moved on specially designed transport vehicles north on Maryland Route 2/4 to the terminal on Cove Point Road.
The transports travel north on Rt. 2/4 and at several points switch into the southbound lane, still traveling north, to avoid obstacles. Maryland State Police and Calvert County Sheriff’s Office will control traffic to maintain safe conditions. Maryland Route 765, HG Trueman Road, will remain open from Dowell Road north, paralleling Rt. 2/4. The transports then turn east on Rt. 497, Cove Point Road, and end at the Dominion LNG facility.
