Closures scheduled for 6 am to 4 pm Saturday and Sunday

(March 12, 2020) – This weekend, the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will close the I-495 (Capital Beltway) inner loop ramp to exit 41, Clara Barton Parkway. Crews will be conducting trimming and vegetation management work starting at 6 am on Saturday, March 14, and Sunday, March 15. All lanes should reopen no later than 4 p.m. each day. 

For the safety of the traveling public and crews, the work must be performed during daytime hours using a full ramp closure. Drivers should add extra commute time and follow the approved detour route of MD 190 (River Road) and southbound I-495 to navigate around the work zone. 

MDOT SHA works hard to maintain safe traffic mobility in work zones for our crews and customers. Drivers need to stay alert, focus on the road and look for reduced speed limits, narrow driving lanes and highway workers. For a list of all major MDOT SHA projects, go to www.roads.maryland.gov.
