Salisbury, MD. — Water utility crews in Salisbury will temporarily shut down a portion of Riverside Road next week as they prepare for major water infrastructure improvements.
The Waterworks Utilities Division has scheduled test pitting operations for Tuesday, April 28, 2026, along the 800 block of Riverside Road. This preliminary work will set the stage for installing a new 12-inch insertion valve as part of ongoing enhancements to the city’s water distribution network.
Motorists should plan alternate routes as Riverside Road will be completely blocked to through traffic from South Boulevard to Monticello Avenue. Officials expect the road restrictions to remain in place from 9:00 a.m. until roughly 3:30 p.m., though unexpected complications could extend the timeline.
City officials say they have coordinated with utility location services and Central Alarm ahead of the scheduled work.
Salisbury officials are asking residents for understanding as crews complete this essential infrastructure upgrade.
Questions about the project can be directed to the Utilities Division at 410-548-3103.
