The Maryland Transit Administration has begun a $1.5 million rehabilitation of the 17.5-mile Chestertown Line between Massey and Worton. Bullock Construction of Easton, Md, is performing the work which is scheduled for completion in May 2010.

The project includes replacing rail, more than 6,000 cross ties and installing new ballast. The rehabilitation will improve safety along the line and reduce the line's future maintenance needs.
