(November 6, 2020) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) will make overnight pavement repairs to two bridge decks on northbound I-95 in Columbia starting this Sunday, November 8, at 8 p.m. 

One bridge is located on the eastbound MD 32 (Patuxent Freeway) exit ramp to northbound I-95; the other is over Guilford Road. 

Crews will close the eastbound MD 32 exit ramp and one left lane of northbound I-95 at 8 p.m.  A second left lane of northbound I-95 will then be closed at 9 p.m. All lanes will be open by 5 a.m. the next day. The repairs will be done Sunday night through Friday morning and are expected to take two weeks, weather permitting.

Motorists on eastbound MD 32 traveling to northbound I-95 will be detoured to the US 1 interchange and then westbound MD 32 to reach their destination. MDOT SHA’s contractor, PDI Sheetz, will use signs, barrels, and cones to alert motorists about the closures and guide them through the detour.
