​Drivers Can Expect Temporary Lane Closures June 25-29 

(June 23, 2023) - The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will continue overnight lane closures along sections of I-695 (Baltimore Beltway) and overnight lane closures on MD 122 (Security Boulevard) underneath I-695 between Sunday night, June 25, and Friday morning, June 30. 

The lane closures are a required part of the ongoing work to relocate utilities, install new roadside infrastructure and relocate temporary and permanent traffic barriers. These tasks are part of the I-695 Transportation Systems Management and Operations project from I-70 to MD 43 (White Marsh Boulevard).  Learn more about the project here.    

Beginning Sunday night, motorists can expect the following overnight lane closures:   

  • ​Northbound and Southbound I-695 (inner and outer loops) from I-70 to MD 139 (Charles Street): Overnight double left or double right lane closures will occur for barrier wall removal or installation by the contractor team between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. the next day, Sunday, June 25, through Thursday, June 29.  
  • MD 122 (Security Boulevard) underneath I-695 bridge: Overnight single-lane closures on eastbound and westbound Security Boulevard between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. the next morning Sunday, June 25, through Thursday, June 29. Note: Concurrent with this work, BGE is continuing its underground electric line reliability project 24/7 on eastbound MD 122 on the approach to the right-turn ramp to southbound I-695 (outer loop) through late June.  

All work and lane closures are weather permitting. The State Highway Administration understands lane closures can be an inconvenience, but the work is necessary to maintain and improve the transportation system for all. Drivers are asked to stay alert, stay focused, look for reduced speed limits as well as driving pattern changes, and slow down in construction zones. 

Motorists in need may dial #77 on their mobile devices for roadside assistance.
