**EXPECT DELAYS**

I-895 BALTIMORE HARBOR TUNNEL NORTHBOUND BORE

CLOSES THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND

Two-Way Traffic Will Operate In Southbound Bore

Use I-695/Key Bridge or I-95/Fort McHenry Tunnel as Alternate Routes

 

 

WHAT:          The northbound bore of the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel (I-895) will continuously close through the weekend.  Two-way traffic (one adjacent lane in each direction) will operate in the southbound bore.  We remind motorists to obey speed limits and stay in your lane. 

 

WHEN:          Weather permitting, the northbound bore will be closed from Thursday, Jan. 30, at 8:30 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. Monday, Feb. 3.

 

WHY:             Toll Dollars At Work:  Crews will be performing concrete pouring operations and manhole adjustments.  The closure is 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.

Every Traveler Deserves to Arrive Safely: A Message from the Maryland Transportation Authority

This month’s Serious About Safety message comes from Maryland Transportation Authority Executive Director Bruce Gartner, who reminds us that every traveler deserves to arrive safely. As fall approaches, we’re encouraging Maryland drivers to keep their charm behind the wheel.

Bay Crossing Study

With students returning to school and more commuters traveling Maryland’s roadways, traffic can become busier. Stay alert, remain patient, and give yourself a few extra minutes to reach your destination. Whether you’re traveling across bridges, through tunnels, or along local roadways, safe and courteous driving habits can help everyone arrive safely.

Before you head out, visit MDTA’s Harbor Crossings website for traffic cameras, lane closures, road conditions, and other travel information to help you plan your trip. Let’s keep our roads safe this fall and continue to be Serious About Safety.
