Heads up

Starting Wednesday, we will temporarily close multiple lanes along southbound I-795 (Northwest Expressway) between MD 140 (Reisterstown Road) and I-695 (Baltimore Beltway) for concrete pavement repairs.

Multiple contractor crews will be working at various locations along all lanes of southbound I-795, left side or right side, throughout the month of December. During the project, crews will remove damaged concrete pavement and temporary patches and, once the old pavement is removed, crews will pour, set and test sections of new concrete pavement.

SAVE A LIFE by identifying rabbit nests before mowing your lawn this spring! Rabbits will reproduce from spring through fall, and love to nest in open grassy lawns. Mother rabbits dig a shallow burrow just below the surface of the grass, then line the burrow with fur and grass. They will then cover the nests with dead grass, hiding their babies and disguising their nest as a small dead patch of grass.

By checking your lawn for rabbit nests before mowing or letting pets in your yard, you may save a litter of baby eastern cottontails. If you do find a nest in your yard, simply avoid mowing that area and keep pets away. Young rabbits leave their nests within just 3-4 weeks, so these precautions are only necessary for a short time. Please help us share this information so that we may save nesting rabbits this nesting season!
