NEAR BWI THURGOOD MARSHALL AIRPORT IN ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY
Motorists Should Expect Nighttime Detours; Allow Additional Travel Time
The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) will start a resurfacing project on Sunday, August 21, to improve the driving surface and enhance safety on five ramps at the MD 170 (Aviation Boulevard)/I-195 interchange near BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport in Anne Arundel County.
Crews will work nightly from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. Sunday evening to Friday morning, to mill, patch and resurface the following ramps in sequential order:
northbound MD 170 to westbound I-195;
westbound I-195 to northbound and southbound MD 170;
southbound MD 170 to westbound I-195;
eastbound I-195 to southbound MD 170; and
southbound MD 170 to eastbound I-195.
The northbound MD 170 ramp to westbound I-195 will be temporarily closed during work hours for approximately four nights. Motorists will be directed to follow the detour to northbound 170; turn left onto Elkridge Landing Road; turn right onto southbound MD 170; then merge onto westbound I-195. Portable and overhead variable message signs will provide advanced notification of the work. Signs will guide motorists through the detour.
Once complete, crews will work on the westbound I-I95 to northbound and southbound MD 170, next. Each ramp will take approximately four nights to complete, with the entire project expected to be complete by mid-September, weather permitting. MDOT SHA contractor Team Cam Services LLC, of Linthicum, is performing the work.
