ALL LANES REOPENING ON I-695 AT

CURTIS CREEK DRAWBRIDGE NEXT WEEK

WHAT: All four lanes of I-695 at the Curtis Creek Drawbridge will reopen to traffic in time for the Monday, Nov. 19, morning commute.  Two-way traffic with one lane open in each direction has operated on the drawbridge since January due to the Curtis Creek Drawbridge Preservation Project.  Temporary overnight closures of I-695 at the Curtis Creek Drawbridge will be required prior to the reopening as follows:

                        The Inner Loop detour will direct motorists to Exit 1 (Quarantine Road), to Pennington Avenue, to Ordnance Road, to northbound MD 10, to Inner Loop I-695.

                        The Outer Loop detour will direct motorists to Exit 2 (MD 10), to Ordnance Road, to Pennington Avenue, to Hawkins Point Road, to Fort Armistead Road, to Outer Loop I-695.

                        Drivers are encouraged to use I-95 as an alternate route.

WHEN:          Weather permitting, Wednesday, Nov. 14, Thursday, Nov. 15, and Sunday, Nov. 18, from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning and Friday, Nov. 16, and Saturday, Nov. 17, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following morning.

WHY:             Crews will be performing roadway reconstruction to reopen all lanes of traffic on the Inner and Outer Loop of I-695 prior to major impacts beginning in late November from the I-895 Bridge project.  For details visit 895bmore.com.
