(December 6, 2023) –The State Highway Administration will perform routine maintenance overnight Thursday, December 7 on the Woodrow Wilson Bridge (I-95/I-495 - Capital Beltway) in Prince George’s County. Weather permitting, the work will begin at 11 p.m. and be completed by 5 a.m. on Friday, December 8.

During the maintenance work period, there will be brief, periodic openings of the drawbridge, resulting in full temporary stops in both directions of the Capital Beltway. These stops are expected to be 15 to 20 minutes in length and will occur several times overnight. This routine maintenance is necessary for the safe and reliable operation of the drawbridge.

Motorists are advised to allow extra driving time overnight to accommodate the delays. The State Highway Administration understands this work will inconvenience some travelers and asks all motorists to please stay alert and be patient as you pass through the area.​
