Howard County Starts Phase 2 Of Blandair Park

From Howard Public Works: Phase 2 of an ongoing Howard County construction project at Blandair Park in Columbia is scheduled to begin on or about Thursday, February 2. The project will include the relocation of Oakland Mills Road through Blandair Park. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by mid-summer.

During this phase of the project, Oakland Mills Road will be closed from the Old Montgomery Road/Oakland Mills Road intersection to the playing fields’ parking lot entrance. Traffic will follow a marked detour along Oakland Mills Road, Kilimanjaro, Stevens Forest Road, Santiago Road, Thunder Hill Road and MD175 to gain access to the park’s new entrance located off MD 175 between Tamar Drive and Thunder Hill Road. Sohap Lane off Thunder Hill Road will be open to local traffic only. Signs will be posted to alert motorists of the detour.

The playing fields at Blandair Park will remain open during the construction project.
