Expect 24-Hour Lane Shifts and Temporary Closures Through October
(September 24, 2026) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will remove and resurface segments of concrete and asphalt pavement along eastbound I-70 Local (MD 570) from east of I-695 (Baltimore Beltway) to the Baltimore City/County line near the Park and Ride Lot in Baltimore City. Work may begin as soon as 8 p.m. Sunday night, September 27. The project is expected to be completed by mid-October, weather permitting.
Once work starts, crews will spend the next two weeks removing and resurfacing segments of concrete and asphalt pavement where needed along eastbound I-70 Local. They will work continuously with temporary lane shifts and/or temporary lane closures in effect with up to 24-hour lane closures while sections of concrete are poured, cured and tested for safe operations.
The concrete work on eastbound I-70 Local will last approximately one week, followed by asphalt paving work, with temporary lane shifts and closures in effect Sunday nights through Thursday mornings, 8 p.m. - 5 a.m. for asphalt paving.
The State Highway Administration’s primary contractor for the $252,000 areawide paving project is Allan Myers MD, Inc. of Fallston. Contractor crews will use temporary traffic signs and cones to control traffic through the work zone.
The State Highway Administration is Serious About Safety. Motorists are urged to remain alert and avoid distractions when traveling through the work zone. Motorists should obey all posted speed limits. Motorists can dial #77 on their mobile devices for roadside assistance.
