Drivers Should Plan Ahead, Use Alternates and Expect Delays through summer 2017 

(July 15, 2016) – As part of the $12 million MD 195 (Carroll Avenue) Bridge rehabilitation over Sligo Creek and Sligo Creek Parkway project, the Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration (SHA) is closing MD 195 between Jefferson Street and Flower Avenue for one year.

Weather permitting, on Monday, July 25 at 10 a.m. crews will close and detour traffic on MD 195 in preparation for the bridge project; the road is expected to reopen by July 2017.  SHA will use electronic message boards to guide traffic around the detour.

Drivers will be directed to use Old Carroll Avenue, Sligo Creek Parkway, Maple Avenue, Maplewood Avenue and Flower Avenue as detour routes.

During the MD 195 closure, crews will complete a significant part of the bridge arch and structure components.  SHA installed a temporary pedestrian bridge to accommodate park users.
