HTI Contractors embraced the challenge of revitalizing this essential roadway, collaborating closely with Howard County to enhance conditions for both pedestrians and vehicles.

Sidewalk Restoration

The previous sidewalks were not only damaged but also presented safety risks for pedestrians. HTI Contractors carefully removed these damaged sections and replaced them with durable, high-quality materials that are expected to last for many years.

Landscaping & Erosion Control

Enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the area was also crucial, which is where landscaping and erosion control played a significant role. HTI Contractors implemented the application of topsoil, seeding, and mulching to restore disturbed areas.

These efforts improved not just the appearance of the area but also addressed erosion concerns effectively. This project represents a comprehensive approach to public works, combining both functionality and visual appeal.

Infrastructure Upgrades

Modern infrastructure is essential for any growing community. The upgrades to the drainage system along Old Stock Bridge Road exemplify smart planning. The project included replacing outdated piping for improved drainage capabilities.

These upgrades also contribute to a stronger sense of community, reinforcing Howard County’s commitment to promoting safe and efficient transportation options for all residents.
