Eastbound MD 90 Closes Tonight Between 7 p.m. and 3 a.m.

(June 1, 2017) – Beginning at 7 p.m. tonight, the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) will close eastbound (inbound) MD 90 (Ocean City Expressway) at MD 589 (Racetrack Road) for emergency road repair.  Weather permitting, eastbound MD 90 should reopen no later than 3 a.m. Friday.

The closure is necessary for crews to patch the concrete bridge deck (driving surface.)  Motorists will be directed to a right turn onto MD 589 to eastbound US 50 (Ocean Gateway) into downtown Ocean City.  Drivers traveling on MD 90 westbound from Ocean City will not be impacted.

While SHA and its transportation partners work hard to maintain safe traffic mobility in work zones, each driver needs to actively modify his or her driving style to help prevent crashes. Stay alert and look for reduced speed limits, narrow driving lanes and highway workers.  Slow down and don’t follow too closely. Safer driving. Safer Work Zones. For everyone!
