Notice: Election Day Re-route to Talbot County Community Center

With a section of Longwoods Road (MD Route 662) currently closed for the construction of the new regional medical center, voters who use Route 662 north to the Hiners Lane entrance to reach their polling place at the Talbot County Community Center, will need to consider an alternate route on November 5. 

Talbot County and University of Maryland Shore Regional Health are jointly issuing detour directions that enable drivers coming to the Community Center from westbound U.S. Route 50 to avoid crossing U.S. Route 50 where there is no traffic light. 

Drivers who prefer not to turn left across U.S. Route 50 to enter the Community Center are advised as follows:

• From U.S. Route 50 North, turn left at Airport Road and follow it to Goldsborough Neck Road; turn right.
• From Route 662 North, turn left at Airport Road and follow it to Goldsborough Neck Road; turn right. 
• At the fork of Goldsborough Neck and Hailem School Road, bear right and follow Hailem School Road to its dead end at Longwoods Road; turn right.
• Drive a short distance on Longwoods Road and turn left on Hiners Lane, which leads to the rear entrance of the Talbot Community Center (on the right).

This alternative route will remain an option to access the Talbot County Community Center for the duration of the Route 662 closure. The road is scheduled to reopen in May.
