(August 28, 2015) –Construction crews will pave the westbound MD 100/northbound MD 10 (Arundel Expressway) interchange in Anne Arundel County this weekend. The work will require westbound MD 100 ramp closures overnight between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. tonight and tomorrow night.  All lanes will reopen each morning by 5 a.m.

Both Friday and Saturday nights, traffic wanting to access westbound MD 100 will be directed to northbound MD 10 to eastbound MD 648 to a right on Mountain Road to a left back onto westbound MD 100.

Additionally, access to MD 10 from both north and southbound MD 2 (Ritchie Highway) will be restricted during the paving operation.

In addition to this project, drivers may also encounter mobile or short-term work zones. Always expect the unexpected, pay extra close attention and drive slowly through any work zone. Whether it’s a tree trimming operation or a bridge project, be aware when orange is there: Think Orange (the color of construction equipment and signs), stay alert and slow down. Everyone is at risk.

In four out of five work zone-related crashes, it is the driver or passenger who is injured or killed. In 2014, nine people lost their lives in Maryland work zone crashes, including four highway workers. While SHA and its transportation partners work hard to keep traffic safely moving in work zones, please partner with us because work zone safety is everyone’s business – slow down and stay alert. Safer driving. Safer work zones. For everyone.

Those who have questions about this work may contact the SHA District 5 Office at 410-841-1000 or by e-mail at shadistrict5@sha.state.md.us.
