Motorists Can Expect Nighttime Single Lane and Shoulder Closures

(May 16, 2017) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) will resurface seven miles of northbound I-83 between Shawan Road in Hunt Valley and MD 137 (Mt. Carmel Road) in northern Baltimore County.  Weather permitting, the $5.3 million safety and resurfacing project will be complete spring 2018.

 

MDOT SHA’s contractor, C.J. Miller, LLC. of Hampstead, will begin at the Shawan Road interchange on northbound I-83 and work north to Mt. Carmel Road.  Crews will use arrow boards, barrels and cones to guide the more than 60,000 motorists that travel on this section of I-83 each day through the work zone.  Motorists can expect single lane and shoulder closures Sundays through Thursdays between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m.  In addition to that closure, crews are permitted to close the shoulder Mondays through Fridays between 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.

The e-Road Ready 2017 electronic construction brochure is now available by clicking here.  The e-brochure highlights major road construction and maintenance projects in each of MDOT SHA’s seven engineering districts which cover Maryland’s 23 counties.

Stay alert and look for reduced speed limits, narrow driving lanes and highway workers.  Slow down and don’t follow too closely. Work Zone Safety is in Your Hands.  Maryland drivers can also know before they go by calling 511 or visiting www.md511.org for live traffic updates, including construction delays and lane closures.
