Resurfacing work will improve driving conditions along the bridge

The Baltimore City Department of Transportation would like to advise motorists that the Hanover Street Bridge/Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge will temporarily close this weekend for repair work.  After weeks of being postponed due to inclement weather, structure adjustments will be made along the bridge and it will be resurfaced in order to provide an improved riding surface. 

To facilitate repairs, the Hanover Street Bridge/Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge will be closed to through traffic in both directions between Waterview Avenue and Cromwell Street beginning at 8:00 p.m. on Friday, August 17, 2018 (weather permitting) with detours in effect.  The bridge will remain closed until approximately 5:00 a.m. on Monday, August 20, 2018.

Variable message signs will be deployed in the area to alert motorists of the closure.  Motorists traveling in this vicinity should be on the watch for changing traffic patterns and are encouraged to use alternate routes. 

During the closure, citizens should utilize Russell Street/MD-295 as an alternate route: 

Southbound Hanover Street detour:

Southbound Hanover Street traffic will be detoured south on I-95, south on MD-295, south on Waterview Avenue via the Annapolis Road exit, then back to Hanover Street.

Northbound Hanover Street detour:

Northbound Hanover Street traffic will be detoured west on Waterview Avenue, north on MD295, east on Hamburg Street back to Hanover Street. 

Cromwell will be open to traffic.
