Motorists Can Expect Multiple Lane Closures During Overnight Work
(November 2, 2023) –The State Highway Administration will install recessed pavement markers (RPMs) to delineate travel lanes on recently paved sections of I-95/I-495 (Capital Beltway) in Prince George’s County beginning Sunday, November 5. The work will be completed by the end of November, weather permitting.
The locations include:
- I-95/I-495 Inner Loop (southbound) between the I-95 interchange in College Park and MD-295 (Baltimore-Washington Parkway).
- I-495 Inner Loop (Southbound) between the Montgomery/Prince George’s line and Cherry Hill Road.
Work will take place 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., Sundays through Thursdays, and will require lane shifts and triple-lane closures. Closing three travel lanes during work hours will provide a buffer between the paved area and the open travel lane, establishing a safe work zone for the public and the crews working overnight.
The State Highway Administration understands that roadwork can be an inconvenience, but the work is necessary to ensure a safe and reliable highway network. Motorists are asked slow down, be patient, allow extra travel time, stay alert and move over when approaching a work zone. Once the work is complete, motorists will notice an improved ride quality on I-95 and I-495.
