Submitted by Tamory Winfield on

Work to Result in Weekend-Long Closures of I-895 Childs Street Ramps

WHAT:   The entrance ramp from Childs Street to southbound I-895 will be closed temporarily to traffic. The detour will direct motorists to Frankfurst Avenue, to Hanover Street, to southbound I-95.

In addition, the exit to Childs Street from northbound I-895 will be closed temporarily to traffic. Motorists should use northbound I-95, to Hanover Street (Exit 54), to Potee Street, to Frankfurst Avenue. Note: No exit prior to I-895 Harbor Tunnel if entering northbound I-895 south of the tunnel during this time. 

WHEN:   Weather permitting, the ramps will be closed from:

  • Friday, April 25, at 9 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. Monday, April 28;
  • Friday, May 2, at 9 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. Monday, May 5; and
  • Friday, May 9, at 9 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. Monday, May 12.  

In the event of inclement weather or other variables, work also may be performed Friday, May 16, at 9 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. Monday, May 19.

WHY:  Toll Dollars At Work: The closures are part of the Maryland Transportation Authority’s (MDTA) I-895 at Frankfurst Avenue Interchange Improvements Project. The first stage includes the construction of new toll gantries on the Childs Street ramps and on the I-895 mainline, just north of the tunnel. Construction is ongoing and the anticipated completion date of this stage is summer of 2025. Learn more at https://mdta.maryland.gov/I895TollPlaza.
