MOTORIST ADVISORY
UPDATE:
ROUTE 2/4 MOTORIST ADVISORY:
HEAVY HAULS SET FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY
July 24, 2015
The Cove Point Liquefaction Project Team is advising motorists to plan for possible delays
between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. Sunday night and Monday night, July 26 and 27, on Route 2/4 from the
north end of the Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge north to Cove Point Road.
Traffic also may be delayed on Cove Point Road from Route 2/4 to the entrance of the Dominion
Cove Point LNG facility during the final stage of the heavy hauls.
Timely information about the Dominion Cove Point liquefaction heavy haul transport events is available
from the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office by subscribing to www.nixle.com.
Roadside electronic signs will be set up the night before along Route 2/4, Cove Point Road, Little Cove
Point Road and Route 235 to advise motorists to expect delays during the heavy haul events.
The heavy hauls depend on the timing of the barge arrival, which can be impacted by delays at the port or
weather conditions, and the receipt of the State Highway Authority permits, the availability of support from
Maryland State Police, Calvert County Sheriff’s Office, local emergency responders and several other
factors.
The transports are an important part of the Dominion Cove Point Liquefaction Project. The largest
equipment arrives by barge at the temporary pier in Solomons. From there, it is moved on specially
designed transport vehicles north on Maryland Route 2/4 to the terminal on Cove Point Road.
The transports travel north on Rt. 2/4 and at several points switch into the southbound lane, still traveling
north, to avoid obstacles. Maryland State Police and Calvert County Sheriff’s Office will control traffic to
maintain safe conditions. Maryland Route 765, HG Trueman Road, will remain open from Dowell Road
north, paralleling Rt. 2/4. The transports then turn east on Rt. 497, Cove Point Road, and end at the
Dominion LNG facility.
The process involves the Calvert County Sheriff, Maryland State Police, State Highway Administration
and emergency responders to ensure each haul is conducted safely and with minimal impacts to the
community and traveling public. The transports require permits from the State Highway Administration
and are to occur at night, between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m., to minimize impacts to traffic. For further information
