​Expect Overnight Single-Lane Closures with Alternating Traffic This Week 

(July 30, 2024) The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will perform nighttime work to permanently repair a sinkhole that occurred earlier this month on the MD 90 (Ocean City Expressway) ​bridge over Assawoman Bay. The work will begin 9 p.m. Wednesday, July 31 and should be completed by 5 a.m. on Thursday August 1, weather permitting. 

Crews will close eastbound MD 90 approximately 1,000 feet prior to the work area and traffic will be alternated using the westbound lane. Drivers can expect a flagging operation and should add additional drive time during the repair. 

Weather permitting, crews will perform the same repairs on westbound MD 90 at the same location on Wednesday, August 7 with the same lane closures. The work hours will also be 9 p.m.-5 a.m. Planned work includes removal of the steel plates in the eastbound lane and filling the area with seal guard to stabilize the bridge approach.  

The State Highway Administration 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 traffic pattern changes.
