(October 26, 2022) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) will begin a project Sunday, October 30, to improve the surface of the westbound MD 100 ramp to southbound I-95 in Howard County. Crews will patch and repair depressions on the ramp’s concrete bridge deck. The work is expected to be complete by Friday, November 4.

Work will take place overnight, 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday night through Friday morning. Starting at 9 p.m. Sunday, crews will close the ramp and detour traffic to safely perform the work. During work hours, motorists on westbound MD 100 will be detoured to southbound MD 103 (Meadow ridge Road) and onto eastbound MD 100 to access southbound I-95. 

MDOT SHA contractor PDI-Sheetz, based in Linthicum, will use electronic signs, barrels and cones to alert motorists and guide them through the work zone and detour route. 

Maryland’s Move Over Law requires motorists to make a lane change or slow down when approaching any stopped, standing or parked vehicle displaying hazard warning lights, road flares or other caution signals. The expanded law is in place to protect emergency responders and motorists who encounter a roadside emergency.
