FREDERICK, Md. - Two road improvements projects will impact drivers during the week of July 7. Frederick County's Division of Public Works warns motorists to expect delays along Sugarloaf Parkway during evening and overnight hours for paving operations.

Sugarloaf Parkway

C. J. Miller will pave Sugarloaf Parkway between Maryland Route 80 and John Simmons Street from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., starting Sunday, July 7. Crews will work each evening, weather permitting, until the stretch of road is completely paved. Sugarloaf Parkway has two lanes in each direction. One lane will be open to traffic during construction. No major delays are anticipated. Work is expected to be finished by 5 a.m. Friday, July 12.
