The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) is detouring motorists around a roadway washout that occurred late-Saturday/early-Sunday in Table Rock

 

The closure on US 50 (George Washington Highway) between Mason School Road and Table Rock Road and detour is expected to remain in place until mid-late July.

 

A thunderstorm associated with a cold front produced nearly six inches of rain in a short time, causing a culvert to become compromised. The road subsequently received major damage and was closed.

 

Motorists will be guided around the nearly 20-mile detour using MD 560 (Gorman Road), MD 135 (Maryland Highway) and US 219 (Garrett Highway). Approximately 1,225 motorists per day travel on this section of US 50.
