Improving Our Roadways For You
Department of Transportation Director Veronica P. McBeth is prioritizing improvements to Baltimore City’s roadways by targeting the streets in greatest need of repair.
Mayor Brandon M. Scott is dedicated to upgrading roadways across Baltimore City, ensuring safer, smoother travel for residents, commuters, and visitors alike.
What Is Repave Baltimore?
The Baltimore City Department of Transportation (DOT) is working to resurface roads in poor condition that are free of project conflicts.
To guide this work, DOT reviews road conditions, community requests, and planned projects. This helps ensure that repairs are made where they will have the greatest impact for residents and travelers.
Maintaining city streets, sidewalks, alleys, and ADA ramps is key to improving safety, making travel easier, and providing a smoother ride for everyone who lives, works, and visits Baltimore.
Project Updates
The Department of Transportation will provide regular updates to keep residents informed about ongoing road improvement efforts across the city.
What to Expect During Construction
From Spring (March) through Fall (November), Baltimore City Department of Transportation (DOT) crews and contractors will be working across the city to improve streets, sidewalks, alleys, and ADA ramps. These upgrades help make travel safer and more accessible for everyone.
