Expect Temporary Lane, Ramp Closures and Detours through July 2024
(June 6, 2024) –The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will begin a resurfacing project on I-95 at multiple locations starting June 10. The resurfacing work includes milling (removing the top layer of asphalt) and paving operations. The pavement improvement project should be complete in early July, weather permitting.
Crews will begin the resurfacing project on southbound I-95 between the Howard County line to MD 212 (Powder Mill Road) then will begin the northbound lanes of I-95 between the Howard County line and Brooklyn Bridge Road.
Work will take place 8 p.m.-5 a.m., Sundays through Thursdays, and will require lane shifts and occasional triple-lane closures. Closing three travel lanes during work hours will provide a buffer between the paved area and the open travel lane and establish a safe work zone for the public and the crews working overnight.
Beginning the week of June 16, crews will begin resurfacing all the ramps at the I-95/I-495 (Capital Beltway)/ MD 295 (Baltimore-Washington Parkway) interchange. Work will take place 8 p.m.-5 a.m., Sundays through Thursdays, and will require total ramp closures and detours. Electronic message boards will be in place ahead of the upcoming work to alert drivers to road conditions ahead.
The following ramps will be affected:
- I-95 southbound to the Baltimore-Washington Parkway westbound;
- I-95 southbound to Baltimore-Washington Parkway eastbound;
- I-95 northbound to Baltimore-Washington Parkway westbound;
- Baltimore-Washington Parkway westbound to I-95 northbound;
- Baltimore-Washington Parkway eastbound to I-95 southbound;
- Baltimore-Washington Parkway westbound to I-95 southbound; and
- MD 193 (Greenbelt Road) ramp to I-95/I-495.
The State Highway Administration understands that roadwork can be an inconvenience, but the work is necessary to ensure a safe and reliable highway network. Motorists are asked to slow down, be patient, allow extra travel time, stay alert and move over when approaching a work zone. Once the work is complete, motorists will have an improved ride quality on I-95 and I-495.
Contractor Allan Myers, of Fallston, MD, will use arrow boards, cones, and barrels to safely guide motorists through the work zones. Customers who have questions may contact the District 3 Office at 301-513-7300 or toll-free at 1-800-749-0737.
