Heavy Highway/Road/Utility/Bridge Construction
Why is Stormwater management important to us here at Concrete General? Stormwater management is important on construction sites because it prevents flooding, erosion, and pollution. Without proper systems, rainwater can carry harmful materials like dirt and chemicals into rivers and streams. This can damage the environment and lead to costly repairs. Effective storm water management protects both the site and the surrounding community.
Improved intersections can significantly enhance a community by increasing safety, reducing traffic congestion, and promoting walkability. Safer intersections reduce the likelihood of accidents, especially for pedestrians and cyclists, making the area more accessible and attractive for everyone. Additionally, efficient traffic flow reduces travel times and vehicle emissions, contributing to a healthier environment. These improvements can also boost local businesses by making the area more inviting and easier to navigate for both residents and visitors.

Concrete General is honored that our state has relied on us since 1972, to grow our state. We couldn’t have done it without our incredible team and crew members! They are the backbone of Concrete General!
Here at Concrete General, we’re not just connecting our Maryland community through improved roadways and bridges. This bus stop, from the Concrete General archives, was improved and made safer for all who use it.
Did you know the oldest recorded traffic circle is Columbus Circle in New York City, established in 1905? This pioneering roundabout has been efficiently managing traffic flow for over a century, showcasing the lasting benefits of circular intersections in urban planning and vehicle navigation.
Newly redesigned and improved intersections and roads don’t just improve the roadways, they improve the lives of everyone who uses them daily, whether for commuting to work, or going home to your families, Concrete General has been a part of the improvement of Maryland’s roadways since 1972.
Did you know, the I-695 Baltimore Beltway handles about 210,000 vehicles every day and nearly 11.3 million vehicles annually? The high volume reflects just how vital 695 is to our state’s infrastructure. Concrete General is proud to be part of continuing to grow 695 for our state.
Happy August everyone! August means the fair is coming to town 😊 here a little fun fact about Concrete General: Did you know since 1985 Concrete General has been a proud supporter of our local 4H club at the Montgomery County Fair? Look at these banners! As the fair approaches we are so excited to support the 4H’ers who have worked so hard for this year’s fair celebrations!
August is just around the corner, which means it's almost time for the Montgomery County Fair! Did you know Concrete General is a proud supporter of 4H and buying livestock from our local 4H clubs in Montgomery County? It's true! Check out last year's livestock buyers!
For over 50 years, Concrete General has been serving the state of Maryland by improving the vital infrastructure that moves our state. Now, the state needs additional infrastructure funding to continue to grow, and to repair the roadways and bridges our community relies on so heavily.
Maryland’s heavily traveled roadways need additional investment to ease congestion & improve mobility. One big problem: Maryland’s Transportation Trust Fund (TTF) is facing a massive shortfall. If we don’t take action now, these financial deficits will damage our economy, infrastructure, and quality of life. We are urging our elected officials to address the growing shortfall in the TTF, and support the following legislative goals:
1. Create new revenue streams to make up for declining gas tax revenues, as well as restructure the gas tax to produce a consistent, sustainable flow of revenue sufficient to fund the engineering, construction, and maintenance of Maryland’s roads, bridges, and highways.
2. Establish regionally-based funding authorities in the Baltimore Metropolitan area and the Prince George’s, Montgomery, Frederick, and Charles County areas to produce enough revenue to fund and support regional transportation projects & efforts.
3. Continue using toll revenue & alternative financing methods, including public-private partnerships (P3s), to bring forth investment capital to modernize & improve our transportation infrastructure.
4. Resist any new proposals that would add significant new costs or lengthy regulatory delays to an already cumbersome project planning & approval process.
Delivering on these legislative goals is crucial for addressing Maryland’s persistent long-term structural funding problem and for revitalizing our struggling transportation construction industry. The resilience & strength of our infrastructure is of utmost importance, and without a solid foundation, Maryland’s economy will crumble.
The time is now. We need to ensure that Maryland’s transportation system is protected not only for years to come — but for generations.

We want to hear from you! How will the Belvidere Road interchange in Cecil County benefit your daily commute?
More Belvidere Road updates! As you can see, the Concrete General crews have put in a lot of hard work these past few months. We are taking everything into consideration, from the flow of traffic near our construction site, to the environment, and storm water management. Follow us to see more updates!
For our followers who have been following along on our project on Belvidere Road, we have some progress updates for you! If you’re just now tuning in to this project, here is more info:
The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) is adding an interchange at I-95 and Belvidere Road that will accommodate future economic growth of the nearby Principio Enterprise Zone, provide more direct access to and from I-95 for trucks accessing the Zone thereby reducing truck volumes on US 40, MD 222, and MD 272, replace the existing Belvidere Road overpass with a new structure designed to convey traffic between I-95 and Belvidere Road and, include environmental mitigation and reforestation measures.
Flashback Friday! This project spanned a bridge over Howard and Baltimore County in June of 2022. The Concrete General crews did an amazing job!
From the Concrete General archives: is there anything more beautiful than a newly constructed bridge? Okay, maybe a tropical sunset, but we’re a little biased over here 😂.
When Concrete General is brought in to repair or rebuild Maryland’s bridges and roads, our community can rest assured that when the project is completed, it will be better and stronger than ever!
The funding for our state’s infrastructure is in jeopardy, but you can help! Scan the QR code to take action now, and join us in demanding our representatives continue to help Maryland grow!
Have a happy 4th of July tomorrow, from Concrete General! 🇺🇸 As we celebrate our nation's independence, we're proud to build the foundation of our community. Enjoy the fireworks and festivities safely. Thank you for your continued support. Let's make this day memorable together!
When our state’s infrastructure requires growth, Concrete General has been there for over fifty years now. From Montgomery County to Hagerstown, we’re continuing to expanding and strengthening our state’s vital infrastructure!

Marco and Isai receiving their certificates! Thank you so much for your dedication and hard work!
Congratulations Marco and Isai! Thank you for your hard work and dedication!
“In recognition of Isai Fuentes and Marco Campero of Concrete General for going above and beyond, actively being aware of their surroundings within the work zone and providing critical assistance that avoided a potential danger.
On August 22, 2023, a portion of the wiring along the boom on the SHA 60' snooper caught fire. From Marco's position in the protection vehicle (TMA) behind the SHA snooper, he spotted the smoke and ran up to assess the problem with the snooper. He noticed the fire before the SHA inspector and yelled over to the inspector to alert him of the problem. His attention to the work zone allowed the inspector to return the snooper basket to the bridge deck while he still had operational control of the snooper. Marco and Isai responded rapidly with fire extinguishers to aid in keeping the fire under control. Without a doubt, their quick response prevented the fire from getting out of hand.
SHA-OOS-SIRE Inspection would like to extend their appreciation to Isai and Marco for responding to the situation quickly and calmly. Without their aid, the situation could have easily transpired differently.”
Each time we complete a project here at Concrete General, we don’t just see new roads and highways. We see our state growing. We see the lives of Marylanders changing for the better!
On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and justice. Let's honor this important day in our nation's history by promoting unity, understanding, and a commitment to a more equitable future.
This past week Sarah and Isaac from Concrete General, Inc. and Sarah from Baldwin Line attended the TUG 2024 National Users Conference in Miami, Florida.
