Curtis Creek Drawbridge Deck Rehab and Resiliency Project

As part of MDTA's preservation program to enhance safety and reliability along the I-695 corridor in Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Anne Arundel County the MDTA is initiating multiple projects for rehabilitating critical infrastructure, including bridges, roadways, and support facilities, to ensure long-term functionality and resilience.   

Scheduled to begin in Winter 2026, the Curtis Creek Drawbridge Deck Rehabilitation and Resiliency project is part of the MDTA’s ongoing efforts to ensure the safety and maintenance of the two bridges that carry the Inner and Outer Loops of I-695 over Curtis Creek. These drawbridges each have two travel lanes over the main channel, allowing ships with to pass through when open.   

This project will include the replacement of portions of the concrete decks and parapets and the repair of the steel girders adjacent to the main bridge spans. Additionally, the project will involve local cleaning and painting operations of specific steel components, the removal and re-installation of existing warning gates, and the removal and replacement of lower-level lights and traffic signals. 

These efforts will be conducted while maintaining one lane of traffic in each direction to minimize disruptions. The MDTA’s goal is to ensure these critical infrastructures remain safe, resilient, and fully functional for years to come. The work will not impact the operation of the underlying channel. The channel will remain operational to marine traffic throughout the duration of the project. 

Completion of this project is anticipated by summer 2027.

Construction Details

This project will be completed in two primary phases using a contraflow system on each bridge. To complete work on the southbound (SB) bridge, both southbound and northbound (NB) traffic will be routed onto the northbound bridge. To complete work on the northbound bridge, both southbound and northbound traffic will be routed onto the southbound bridge. Additionally, the ramp from northbound Route 10 to northbound I-695 will be closed and detoured for the duration of the project. Please check the website for up-to-date traffic information.
