MD 707 sign
(October 8, 2026) - The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will close a section of MD 707 (Grays Corner Road) between MD 589 (Racetrack Road) and Riddle Lane in Berlin beginning at 8 a.m. Monday, October 12. The temporary road closure is necessary for the Worcester County Department of Public Works to resurface the roadway. The county improvement project should be completed by 4 p.m. Tuesday, October 13, weather permitting.
Starting Monday, the county’s contractor, Groundwork Solutions, Inc. of Berlin, MD, will work 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, until the work has been completed. Atlantic Traffic Safety, Inc. of Berlin, MD, will use variable message signs, arrow boards, and cones to safely guide motorists through the detour route to US 50 (Ocean Gateway).
The State Highway Administration understands detours and roadwork can be an inconvenience for some motorists but is necessary to maintain a safe and reliable transportation system. Motorists in need may dial #77 on their mobile devices for roadside assistance.
