​Between 9 p.m. Wednesday and 5 a.m. Thursday, Motorists Can Expect Shoulder and Left Lane Closures on the I-95/I-495 Outer Loop 

(March 8, 2022) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) will perform overnight repairs on the Forestville Road bridge over I-95/I-495 (Capital Beltway) in Prince George’s County beginning 9 p.m. Wednesday, March 9. The work is expected to be complete by 5 a.m. Thursday, March 10.

During work hours, crews will close the northbound left shoulder and left two lanes on I-95/I-495 Outer Loop. Traffic will shift to the right side of the road.  

MDOT SHA works hard to maintain safe traffic mobility in work zones for our crews as well as our customers. Drivers need to stay alert, focus on driving and look for reduced speed limits, as well as other driving pattern changes. Please drive like you work here and slow down in construction zones.

Motorists can dial #77 on their mobile device for Maryland State Police and roadside assistance.
