Overnight ramp closures, detours announced for I-695/I-70 interchange from March 9-13

BALTIMORE (WBFF) — The Maryland State Highway Administration announced upcoming ramp closures and detours for next week at the I-695 Baltimore Beltway and I-70 interchange.

These closures are scheduled for March 9 through 13, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., as crews prepare for a project this spring.

Crews will be installing temporary concrete barriers, temporary taps, and platforms for the upcoming bridge cleaning project.

The upcoming work is part of a contract to clean and paint eight bridges at the I-695/I-70 interchange this spring. Temporary traffic signs and cones will direct drivers through work zones and detour routes.
