BALTIMORE, MD - The repairs to the 16" diameter water main at Gay and Saratoga Streets were completed yesterday. A new 16" water valve was also installed this past weekend. Repairs to a communications conduit will begin today. 

 

At this same location, a 24" diameter storm drain was discovered to have been damaged. Storm drain repairs will be done this weekend. In order to complete the work, Gay Street between Lexington Street and Saratoga Street will be totally closed to traffic  throughout the weekend, beginning at 7:00 p.m. this Friday, February 13.
