The following statement was released by 5th District Councilman David Marks about an update on the Mohrs Lane Bridge project in Middle River
The Mohrs Lane Bridge connection will produce another east-west link between Philadelphia Road and Pulaski Highway.
Right now, the main direct connections are at Ebenezer and Middle River Roads – it’s a major reason why we have congestion.
I had never represented this area before 2022, but have worked since then to fast-track a project that has been planned for decades.
Much of the delay has been due to negotiations with railroad authorities.
There are nine properties that need to be acquired. Four are acquired. It’s hoped that acquisition will be done by next May for construction to begin.
The green properties are cleared, and the red ones need to be acquired.
