FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Feb. 14, 2019

 

I-895/BALTIMORE HARBOR TUNNEL SOUTHBOUND BORE CLOSED NEXT TWO WEEKENDS

Two-Way Traffic Will Operate In Northbound Bore

 

WHAT: The southbound bore of the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel (I-895) will continuously close over the next two weekends.  Two-way traffic (one lane in each direction) will operate in the northbound bore.  Motorists should use I-695/Key Bridge or I-95/Fort McHenry Tunnel as alternate routes.

 

WHEN: Weather permitting, the southbound bore will be closed from Friday, Feb. 15, at 10 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. Monday, Feb. 18, and Friday, Feb. 22, at 10 a.m. to 4:30 a.m. Monday, Feb. 25.

 

WHY: Toll Dollars At Work: The closures are part of the Maryland Transportation Authority’s (MDTA) three-year, $189 million I-895 Bridge Project to replace the 60-year-old bridge and Holabird Avenue exit ramp north of the Harbor Tunnel and to rehabilitate the Harbor Tunnel.  The project began in April 2018 and is expected to be completed in summer 2021.  For details visit 895bmore.com.

Serious About Safety: State Highway Administration's Commitment to Safer Roads

This month’s Serious About Safety message comes from State Highway Administrator (SHA) Will Pines, who highlights SHA’s continued commitment to building a strong safety culture and supporting MDOT’s overall safety mission. As we move through the summer travel season, roads across Maryland are busier than usual, making it especially important to stay alert, plan ahead, and make safe choices behind the wheel.

July is Roadside Traffic Safety Awareness Month, a reminder that anyone can find themselves stopped along the side of the road unexpectedly, whether due to a disabled vehicle, a crash, emergency responders, or maintenance crews. In these situations, drivers are encouraged to slow down, stay alert, and move over when it is safe to do so. Learn more about Maryland’s Move Over Law, roadside safety, and real-time traffic updates through SHA’s CHART (Coordinated Highways Action Response Team) and MDTA's Bay Bridge website.
