Traffic Shift on Northbound I-95 between MD 152 and MD 24

Submitted by Tamory Winfield on

As part of the Maryland Transportation Authority’s (MDTA) $1.1 billion program to relieve congestion and improve travel along the I-95 corridor into Harford County, northbound I-95 between MD 152 to MD 24 will be shifting to a new traffic pattern. Anticipated to begin on Friday, April 2, 2021 (weather dependent), the existing traffic pattern with split travel lanes will be removed, and all four travel lanes will be on the right of the work zone on northbound I-95 between Exit 74 (MD 152) and Exit 77 (MD 24) while construction activities are occurring in the left shoulder and median areas.



Temporary signs will be installed to direct motorists approaching the construction work zone.

The MDTA reminds drivers to plan ahead and travel off-peak to avoid delays as this critical work continues. When the COVID-19 state of emergency is lifted and normal traffic returns to Maryland roads, traffic delays are typical in this area during afternoon peak periods, and particularly on summer Friday afternoons and evenings as Marylanders travel for weekend events. On average, motorists historically experience northbound Friday afternoon delays with queues up to nine miles and normal travel delays up to 20 minutes.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING CONSTRUCTION

Ground-mounted roadway signs and overhead changeable message signs will inform motorists of the new traffic pattern. Due to the new traffic pattern, motorists should use extra caution while approaching the area. Stay up-to-date on this switch and other traffic changes along I-95.

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.
