(April 13, 2012) – Last week, the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) began a $200,000 project to repair pavement on approaches to bridges along northbound and southbound I-83 (Baltimore-Harrisburg Expressway) in northern Baltimore County.  SHA anticipates completing the resurfacing by Memorial Day.

SHA is performing nighttime concrete patching operations along I-83 between I-695 (Baltimore Beltway) and Shawan Road.  Single lane closures may occur at any time Sunday through Thursday between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m. 

Crews are also performing daytime patching along I-83 between Exit 20, Shawan Road and the bridge carrying I-83 over Quaker Bottom Road.  Single lane closures in this area of I-83 may occur at any time between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. 

SHA’s contractor for the project is Gray and Son, Inc. of Timonium.  Weather permitting,
