Beginning tonight (Wednesday, June 21), and continuing nightly until all work is complete, the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) will close three left lanes on the outer loop of I-495 (Capital Beltway) Bridge over MD 185 (Connecticut Avenue) to perform emergency maintenance on the deck (driving surface).   Motorists should consider alternate routes as the repairs to the bridge deck will cause overnight travel delays.

 

Crews will close one left lane at 9 p.m., two lanes at 10 p.m. and three lanes at 11 p.m. All lanes will reopen each day by 5 a.m. The need for the repairs to the bridge deck were discovered via a routine maintenance inspection.
