Submitted by Tamory Winfield on

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

July 6, 2017

 

                                  NICE BRIDGE OFF-PEAK FLAGGING CONTINUES

                                 Work related to ongoing structural repairs and steel work

 

WHAT: The Nice Bridge (US 301) across the Potomac River will continue to be reduced to one lane with flagging operations alternating northbound and southbound traffic during off-peak hours Monday through Thursday.

WHEN: Daytime flagging may occur Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Overnight flagging operations are also permitted Monday through Thursday from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning.

WHY: Toll Dollars At Work. Crews are performing work as part of the Maryland Transportation Authority's (MDTA) $5.4 million project to repair the substructure and superstructure of the Nice Bridge. The project began in spring 2017 and is expected to be complete in early 2019.

Drivers may observe equipment like bridge inspection trucks on the bridge as well as inspectors climbing and moving over the structure.

Trucks greater than 10-feet wide will not be permitted to cross the bridge during flagging operations. Every effort will be made to cross all vehicles exceeding 10-feet from 8 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and from 3:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Drivers of vehicles exceeding the width restriction must call 301-259-4444 to obtain approval and schedule an escort. Calls must be made one hour prior to arrival at the bridge and will only be accepted between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday. In addition, no overweight vehicles (80,000+ lbs) will be permitted to cross the bridge when there is construction on the bridge.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Domestic violence can affect people of any age or background and can include physical, emotional, sexual, or financial abuse. It can also involve controlling behaviors that cause someone to feel afraid, isolated, or unsafe in a relationship.

Knowing the signs can help you recognize when someone may need support. Changes in behavior, increased isolation, unexplained injuries, or a partner controlling someone’s finances, communication, or daily activities can be signs of an unhealthy or abusive relationship.

Potomac

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, support is available. MDOT employees can also access resources through MyMDCARES. Learning about available resources and knowing how to safely support someone can make a difference.

This October, we’re recognizing Cybersecurity Awareness Month!

Protecting your digital information starts with a few simple steps.

  • Use strong, unique passwords for your accounts. A trusted password manager can help you keep track of them and maintain access to important systems.
  • Add an extra layer of protection with multifactor authentication (MFA), such as an external security token or biometric login.
    Stay alert online. Cybercriminals often use deceptive emails, links, and offers to trick you into sharing personal information or granting access to your systems.
  • When in doubt, contact your IT department for guidance on keeping your systems and information secure.

A few extra precautions can help protect your data and keep MDOT’s systems secure.
