Beginning Friday, June 10 at 9 p.m. (weather permitting), the Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration (SHA) will temporarily close two lanes on the outer loop of I-495 (Capital Beltway) from MD 97 (Georgia Avenue) to MD 185 (Connecticut Avenue). Weather and progress permitting, all lanes should reopen no later than 5 a.m. Monday morning.
Crews will make emergency repairs
to the I-495 Bridge over Jones Mill Road/Stonybrook Drive. The bridge driving
surface is in poor condition. During the lane closures, crews will remove the
top layer of concrete on the bridge, repair the bridge expansion joints and
deck, and resurface the bridge deck with concrete. The work will improve ride
quality for drivers.
The repairs and lane closures over
the weekend will take place in two phases. Crews will first close two left
lanes on the outer loop of I-495 to begin repairs, reopen the left two lanes
once the first phase of work is complete and then close the right two lanes on
the outer loop to complete the second phase of the repairs. Equipment used for
construction may be disruptive.
