Baltimore, MD  - March 5, 2026 – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will close and detour various ramps at the I-695 (Baltimore Beltway) / I-70 interchange overnight beginning Monday, March 9, in preparation for a bridge painting and cleaning project scheduled for this spring. The ramp work is expected to be completed by Friday, March 13, weather permitting.

Ramp detours will be in effect between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. each night, with detour routes posted. In the event of inclement weather, the schedule may change and overnight work with temporary lane closures and detours will take place on the next available weeknight (Sunday through Thursday).

Each night, contractor crews will install temporary concrete barriers, tarps, and platforms for workers performing bridge maintenance. Later this spring, there may also be temporary shoulder closures at any time, as well as overnight single-lane and double-lane closures on I-70 and I-695 within the interchange area.
