Route 90 Sinkhole Repairs Could Last Into Wednesday; Routine Inspections Will Cause Lane Restrictions

By: Charlene Sharpe via Maryland Coast Dispatch

OCEAN CITY – Motorists are advised to avoid Route 90 heading into Ocean City as State Highway Administration crews patch a hole that developed at the St. Martin’s Neck Road intersection.

The eastbound lane of Route 90 has been closed since 1 p.m. Tuesday when a hole appeared in the roadway. State Highway Administration crews are on the scene and plan to repair road with steel plates and cold patch. The lane closure could last as long as 24 hours.

“It depends on what they assess there,” said SHA spokesman Charlie Gischlar.

He said the work being done Tuesday was a short-term fix that would serve until a contractor was hired to make more extensive repairs to the road. Gischlar said he was not sure what caused the hole.

“The rising and falling tides over  time could have led to part of it,” he said.

He advises drivers using Route 90 to enter Ocean City to be cautious and allow extra time to reach their destinations. Even after the hole is repaired, there will be single lane closures in the area as SHA crews perform a routine bridge inspection. That will be taking place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is expected to last until Jan. 29.
