MARYLAND TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY CREWS READY FOR WINTER STORM For real-time updates on major incidents follow us on Twitter at twitter.com/TheMDTA The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA), the agency that finances, owns, operates and maintains the State's eight toll facilities, is prepared for the winter storm predicted to start overnight and continue through tomorrow. MDTA crews are ready for winter weather that could bring dangerous driving conditions to Maryland. Drive only if it's absolutely necessary. Do not pass snow plows and sanding trucks. Speed limits are based on normal road and weather conditions, not winter road conditions. Turn on your lights to increase your visibility to other motorists. Remember bridges, overpasses and infrequently traveled roads will freeze first. Be prepared for possible bridge wind warnings or restrictions. Stay alert and use caution. On all MDTA bridges, wind warnings and restrictions would be implemented as outlined below: As the MDTA prepares for potentially severe weather, it has no immediate plans to close any toll facilities in anticipation of the storm. Any decision to close a toll facility would be based upon current weather and road conditions at a given facility. The MDTA will make every effort to keep all of its facilities open as long as conditions are deemed safe to do so. To view real-time traffic camera images on MDTA roadways, visit mdta.maryland.gov.
