Utility Contractor reviews in Washington, Maryland

I’m writing to express my deep concern regarding a dangerous encounter I had with one of CW & Sons Infrastructure’s drivers last night. On April 16, 2026, at 11:07pm last night. While driving on interstate 495 South (I-495 S) / Capital Beltway. The lane I was in was ending. MDOT, The Maryland Department of Transportation Administration had placed cones to gradually close the lane, requiring drivers to merge. I had my signal on well in advance to merge safely.
Despite this, a CW & Sons Infrastructure truck intentionally refused to allow me to merge. Traffic was extremely heavy, and my lane was ending quickly. Instead of slowing slightly to create a safe gap, the driver accelerated each time I attempted to merge, even as I repeatedly used my horn to signal the urgency of the situation. The more I signaled, the more the driver sped up to block me.
This created a frightening and dangerous scenario. I was forced to abruptly brake to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of me, crashing into the cones, or being pushed into the side of the highway. One vehicle in front of him would not have delayed his arrival in any meaningful way, yet he chose to prioritize blocking me over basic safety and humanity.
What makes this especially disappointing is that CW & Sons Infrastructure’s website emphasizes excellence, professionalism, and safety. My experience was the complete opposite. There was no regard for safety, no regard for other drivers, and no reflection of the values the company claims to uphold.

I am sharing this to make the public aware of the behavior I witnessed from a driver representing CW & Sons Infrastructure. A company that works directly on our roads should hold its employees to the highest safety standards. Unfortunately, this driver’s actions demonstrated the exact opposite.
