#895BMORE BRIDGE TRAFFIC PATTERN CHANGE

Submitted by Tamory Winfield on

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                              

December 4, 2020

 

#895BMORE BRIDGE TRAFFIC PATTERN CHANGE

Four Lanes (Two in Each Direction) Open North of Tunnel

Holabird Avenue Ramp Reopens; One Lane in Each Direction Through Tunnel

Continue to Avoid I-895 and Use I-695/Key Bridge or I-95/Fort McHenry Tunnel

 

WHAT:         Four lanes of traffic – two lanes in each direction – will be open on I-895 north of the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel on the recently constructed bridge. In addition, the Holabird Avenue exit ramp has also reopened. One lane of traffic in each direction will continue through the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel up to the toll plaza structure until early 2021 while crews complete project work.

WHEN:         Weather permitting, Friday, December 4, crews will have restored four lanes of traffic on I-895 north of the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel.

Note: Motorists should anticipate the return of regular off-peak Baltimore Harbor Tunnel tube closures for routine maintenance operations in 2021.

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

TOLLING REMINDER: All-electronic tolling is permanent statewide. Effective January 1, 2021, standard Video Toll rates will apply for any trips not paid with a valid E-ZPass at toll facilities statewide. Pay the lowest tolls with E-ZPass Maryland. Sign-up is available 24/7 at ezpassmd.com.

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.
