An interchange reconstruction project is a year into its contract in the Sparrows Point area of Baltimore County, Md. The MD 151/Wharf Rd. interchange is south of I-695 (Baltimore Beltway) with access to other interstate high-
ways, including I-95. “The redevelopment of Sparrows Point has been a major focus to create jobs and maintain Maryland’s position as an economic leader,” said Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan at the start of the project. The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA)
project began in September 2020 and the expected completion is set for August 2024. The total project cost is $30.5 million, with the contract awarded to the Six-M Company Inc. of Delta, Pa. Michael S. Randow is the project manager. see RECONSTRUCTION page 40

The ink is still drying on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) as the construction industry awaits bid-letting and Congress turns to the reconciliation budget bill. After a long, hard-fought battle for funding, the industry is ready to get to work on these broad-spectrum infrastructure projects,
which will color the national construction picture for years to come. “America finally has a generation-defining infrastructure bill — and if the reconciliation budget comes through, too, America will begin a building spree larger than what happened during the New Deal,” observed Brookings Institution. see INFRASTRUCTURE page 34
