Motorists Should Expect Overnight Lane Closures Throughout the Repairs 

(August 21, 2023) –The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will perform repairs at the US 1 (Baltimore Avenue)​ bridge over I-95/I-495 (Capital Beltway) interchange starting Monday, August 21 in College Park. The repair work will be completed by late fall, weather permitting.

Drivers can expect temporary ramp closures and detours within the interchange and shoulder closures on I-95/I-495. The ramp from southbound US 1 to the inner loop of I-95/495 will be controlled with a yield sign while crews close a single-lane beneath the bridge to make repairs. Additionally, drivers can expect a single-lane closure on the acceleration lane on the inner loop of I-95/I-495. Crews will install a concrete barrier to close the right shoulder on the inner loop of I-495 under the bridge for the duration of the project. All work will be performed Sundays through Thursdays from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.

The work is a system preservation project that will ensure decades of useful service life to the bridge.

The State Highway Administration understands lane closures can be an inconvenience, but the work is necessary to ensure a safe and reliable transportation system. Motorists are asked to reduce speeds approaching and while in active work zones.

The Marksmen Company, of Baltimore, will perform the work. Customers who have questions may contact the District 3 Office at 301-513-7300 or toll-free at 1-800-749-0737.​
