Due to possible rain on Saturday, southbound MD-295 may remain closed through 5:00 a.m. on Monday, August 31^st if needed; Temporary traffic stops will also occur Saturday along northbound MD-295

The Baltimore City Department of Transportation would like to advise motorists that a portion of southbound MD-295 (Baltimore-Washington Parkway) is scheduled to be closed this weekend, August 28-31, 2020.  This closure of southbound MD-295 is necessary to erect concrete beams for the new Annapolis Road Bridge.

Beginning at 9:00 p.m. on Friday, August 28, 2020, southbound MD-295 will be closed to through traffic between Bush Street and I-695 with detours in effect, weather permitting.  This portion of southbound MD-295 was originally scheduled to be reopened to traffic by 5:00 a.m. on Sunday, August 30, 2020, but due to the possibility of rain this weekend, the closure of southbound MD-295 may be extended until 5:00 a.m. on Monday, August 31, 2020 if needed.

In addition to the southbound closure, a single lane closure will be implemented along northbound MD-295 throughout the day on Saturday, August 29, 2020 so that the new bridge beams can be set safely in place.  Temporary traffic stops along northbound MD-295 of approximately 5-10 minutes each will also be implemented Saturday between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. as concrete beams are lifted over the travel lanes.  Motorists should plan for delays and traffic congestion if traveling along northbound MD-295 this Saturday during these times.

During the southbound closure, all southbound Russell Street traffic destined for MD-295 will be detoured onto I-95 south.  The weekend closure of southbound MD-295 and Saturday’s lane closures/temporary traffic stops along northbound MD-295 may cause congestion and delays.  Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead for the closure by allowing additional travel time and using alternate routes.
