There will be some additional limitations with the reopening as recovery efforts continue.
Howard County Executive Allan Kittleman said the following in a release posted to his official Facebook page:
Some access to sidewalks, particularly on Main Street between Old Columbia Pike and Maryland Avenue, may be restricted from time to time as business owners continue work on their properties. It could be necessary to impose temporary traffic restrictions and flagging operations at times, particularly near Maryland Avenue where county public works crews are rebuilding a retaining wall near the B&O railroad bridge.
More than $12 million has been spent on the recovery effort since the July 30 flash flood.
