A new traffic pattern will be in place starting Thursday on US 40 at the Patapsco River Bridge.
The State Highway Administration (SHA) announced Wednesday that there’s going to be a new traffic pattern – and delays coming with it -- on US 40 at the Patapsco River Bridge starting Thursday as part of a bridge reconstruction project. An SHA release said the traffic will be cut down to one lane on Baltimore National Pike at the Patapsco River Bridge, something that will remain in place until the late spring. Crews will take apart a temporary bridge which kept two lanes of traffic in place in both directions while the old bridge was reconstructed. Traffic going east had been moved onto the reconstructed bridge on Dec. 20. As long as there are no weather issues, crews are going to move westbound traffic onto the rehabilitated bridge …

Icy conditions could occur at the onset of the morning rush hour.
The Maryland State Highway Administration strongly urges motorists to avoid traveling early Thursday morning, especially before dawn. "Stay off the roads early [Thursday] morning, so that SHA crews have the opportunity to proactively treat roadways before morning rush hour," SHA Administrator Melinda B. Peters said in a news release. "When you step out and see ice on your doorstep, you can assume that roads will be icy as well. Also remember that conditions can change rapidly within just a few miles, and we ask motorists to remain on guard and exercise extreme caution tonight and tomorrow morning." The SHA warns that those traveling during inclement weather and poor conditions pose a threat to themselves, first responders and other drivers…

The Beltway re-opened Saturday morning after the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) shut down both directions the previous night to remove a sign structure that needed attention. The affected area was between the US 40 (Baltimore National Pike) and the Edmondson Avenue exits, and SHA crews started shutting it down at 10 p.m. Detours were put in place for drivers so the sign could be removed. After the work was done, the SHA was able to re-open the Beltway at around 7 a.m. That was about two hours later than hoped for, but it didn’t affect much. “It didn’t affect much,” SHA spokesperson Charlie Gischlar said on Monday. “We had to close the Beltway. We had to detour traffic.” A recent inspection found a problem with the sign that …

The Maryland State Highway Administration is planning to route traffic back onto the Patapsco Bridge after two years of renovation work.
