(February 8, 2024) - The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration to perform work on the ramps at the 1-81/Maugans Avenue interchange beginning Monday, February 12 at 8 p.m. The project will require several ramps to be narrowed during the work, which is expected to be completed by 6 a.m., Tuesday, February 13, weather permitting.
The work is a part of the State Highway Administration’s project at the I-81/Maugans Avenue interchange.
The affected ramps are:
- The Maugans Avenue ramp to southbound I-81;
- southbound I-81 ramp to Maugans Avenue; and
- northbound I-81 ramp to Maugans Avenue.
The State Highway Administration’s contractor, Francis O. Day Co., Inc. of Rockville, will use construction barrels to guide motorists safely through the work zone.
The State Highway Administration appreciates customers’ patience during this necessary work to maintain and improve Maryland’s transportation system and keep it in a state of good repair. Drivers are asked to stay alert, stay focused, and slow down in work zones and look for reduced speed limits as traffic patterns will change in construction zones.
Motorists in need may dial #77 on their mobile devices for roadside assistance.
