SHA Closing Section of B-W Parkway for Two Upcoming Weekends

A section of the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, MD-295, in Linthicum will be shut down on two Friday nights and Saturday nights in October, according to a statement from the Maryland State Highway Administration.

Traffic crews will detour vehicles into single lanes during construction hours, using the ramps from West Nursery Road, but SHA is telling drivers to use other routes.

"For the safety of work crews and drivers, SHA is urging motorists to plan now for overnight travel on these weekends. Use MD 5-1-1 to determine the best alternate routes," said SHA Administrator Melinda B. Peters, in a press release.

According to the SHA, crews are currently constructing two bridges for the overpass of West Nursery Road in the median of MD-295, and they will replace the current bridges during the two weekend closures.

SHA announced the following closures of MD-295:

• One lane of MD-295 closed in each direction at 8 p.m.
