#895BMORE BRIDGE TRAFFIC SWITCH IN PROGRESS

Replacement Project Moves Closer to Completion

Two-Way Traffic on NEW Southbound Bridge; Holabird Ave. Ramp to Temporarily Close

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

 

WHAT:         Two-way traffic – one lane in each direction – will be switched on I-895 north of the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel from the northbound bridge span to the newly constructed southbound bridge. Switching two-way traffic to the southbound bridge now will allow crews to complete finishing work on the northbound bridge and joints before reopening all four lanes to traffic. As part of this transition, the Holabird Avenue exit ramp from the northbound bridge will also temporarily close.

WHEN:         Weather permitting, by Friday, November 20, crews will have completed the phased switchover of 24/7 two-way traffic from the northbound span to the southbound span. This stage, including the temporary closure of the Holabird Avenue exit ramp, is anticipated to continue until early 2021.

Note:  The ongoing 24/7 two-way traffic pattern in the southbound tube of the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel for continued work in the northbound tube will be lifted the evening of November 24th.  Tube closures for project work or routine maintenance operations may resume in December.

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.

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.
