The only road that was closed by the SHA after the hurricane hit was Alternate U.S. 40 at Zittlestown Road near Boonsboro, Buck said.  It was closed around 12:30 p.m. Sunday because a tree limb was in the road. The limb was cleared off the road and the road reopened at 12:50 p.m.

Approximately 200 different roads were closed across Maryland after the hurricane hit, according to Buck. However, Washington County avoided most of the damage, he said.
