​Resurfacing on Northbound I-95 Set through Late June; Alternate Routes Encouraged 

(May 29, 2024) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration is continuing its $39.8 million project to rehabilitate 10 bridges at the I-95/I-695 (Baltimore Beltway) interchange in the Arbutus area of southwestern Baltimore County.   

Beginning Monday June 3, there will be a single-lane closure on northbound I-95 at the I-695 interchange at 7 p.m., a double-lane closure at 9 p.m. and a triple-lane closure at 11 p.m. with three of the four travel lanes closed until 5 a.m. on weeknights (Sunday through Thursday).   

The closures will take place on northbound I-95 every weeknight for approximately three weeks to allow contractor crews to perform final asphalt paving work and install new reflective pavement markings on all lanes of northbound I-95. All travel lanes will reopen by 5 a.m. the following day.   

Through late June, drivers should expect major delays while work is taking place within the I-95/I-695 interchange work zone. Motorists are advised to use MD 295 (Baltimore-Washington Parkway), US 1 (Washington Boulevard) or US 29 (Columbia Pike) as alternate routes. There are no planned lane closures along northbound or southbound I-95 at I-695 on Friday or Saturday nights.      

The complete list of overnight ramp and lane closures is listed in the chart below.  All schedules are weather permitting:

Maryland State Police will patrol the work zone.  Motorists should slow down, observe the I-95 work zone speed limit and pay close attention while driving in the work zone.   

The larger project will install 10 new riding surfaces on bridges within the I-95 / I-695 interchange and will replace concrete traffic barriers and parapets on the bridges. For additional information about the project, click here.

The State Highway Administration understands roadwork can be an inconvenience but is necessary to maintain a safe and reliable highway system. Drivers are asked to slow down in the work zone for the safety of all drivers and the crews working to improve our roadways.
