Bear sightings reported across areas of Baltimore and Harford counties are believed to be of the same bear, officials told Patch.
Officials say one bear has been making a number of appearances throughout Baltimore and Harford counties over the last week. A bear sighted in Baltimore County last week is believed to be the same bear that has been roaming through parts of central Harford County this week. “Our thinking is that it's the same bear,” said Ken D’Loughey, a regional manager with the Maryland Wildlife Heritage Service. A bear was reported near the Susquehanna River Thursday. Have you seen a bear? Add your photos to our Pics & Clips page. D’Loughey told Patch Thursday morning the bear was most recently sighted at Glen Cove Road in Darlington.

Road work on U.S. Route 1 at the Conowingo Dam was slated for two May weekends.
Roadwork is causing significant delays on U.S. Route 1 at the Conowingo Dam this weekend. The Maryland State Highway Administration is paving lanes on the bridge deck. This period of road work should be complete by 6 a.m. on Monday. "There are delays in each direction of US 1 at the Conowingo Dam due to construction. There is a flagging operation in effect. We recommend motorists to use I-95 or US 40 as alternates," SHA spokesman Charlie Gischlar told Patch in an email. Roadwork is being confined to the weekends. Aside from the Conowingo Dam, the Tydings Bridge (Interstate 95) and Hatem Bridge (U.S. Route 40) are the only alternate routes to cross the Susquehanna River south of the Mason Dixon Line.

Data indicates overall traffic volume is up throughout the MdTA's toll facilities.
It's too early to tell how the increase in tolls on Maryland roads will impact travel. But Randy Brown, executive secretary of the Maryland Transportation Authority, said traffic throughout the MdTA system has actually increased since the rates went up in October 2011. The Hatem Bridge spanning the Susquehanna River between Havre de Grace and Perryville was the topic of much debate in the lead-up to the toll increases. The outrage wasn't so much over the rate increase, but more for the removal of the popular AVI decal program, which enabled motorists to pay a flat, yearly rate to travel the bridge. That system is still in use through September 2012, but will be phased out in favor of the E-ZPass system that is used throughout the state and…

Set aside a weekend to enjoy the outdoors where sun, fun and history all meet on the Susquehanna.
I’m not having the best of days when I turn onto Level Road toward Susquehanna State Park. The weather is supposed to remain clear and sunny for the next two days, but family disagreements earlier in the day cloud my mood. And being slightly superstitious by nature, I can’t help but feel that the $6.66 I owe when I stop for a bite to eat is somewhat ominous. After pulling into the campground, I stop at the little information hut. Inside, a man with close-cut hair wears a khaki state park uniform and a smile. His name tag reads Todd. “Hi; checking in?” I answer in the affirmative and he takes my name and writes it down. Then he pulls out a map and circles attractions with a pink highlighter, including the route to my campsite. He also goes …
