  • I-695 South Outer Loop from US 40 (National Pike) to MD 372 (Wilkens Avenue) - temporary acceleration and deceleration lane, right shoulder and left shoulder closures at Edmondson Avenue and Frederick Road interchanges 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
  • I-695 North Inner Loop from MD 144 (Frederick Road) to US 40 (National Pike) -temporary single left lane and left shoulder closures along Inner Loop 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

There may be additional temporary left or right shoulder closures along the Inner and Outer loops as construction equipment and personnel move through the work zone during the day next week. The work is part of MDOT SHA’s project to widen this section of I-695.

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 roadside assistance.
