Friday Flooding: Route 1 Reopened at Dam
Patch will keep an updated list of road closures around the area
UPDATE (4:48 p.m.)—U.S. Route 1 over the Conowingo Dam has been reopened, according to Maryland State Police, who earlier Friday said it would be closed through the weekend.
A duty officer for the state police said Friday afternoon that it is a "distinct possibility" the Route 1 bridge over the dam could be closed again this weekend.
If that happens, the most direct route to cross the Susquehanna River from the Harford County shore is from Route 1 to Route 161 to Route 155 to Interstate 95.
All Friday after school and weekend activities have been canceled by Harford County Public Schools officials.
In addition Route 1, the following roads are closed or affected due to flooding:
Darlington

For those of you who live in Conowingo , you will need to head toward Rising Sun to the round about and turn right into Briggs Hwy to get to 95. Because the bridge to Dr.Jack rd is closed. I know it's a pain but leave your impatience at home, be safe.
