Prepare for Traffic Delays as Major I-795 Work Begins

Lane closures start Friday for the $9.2 million project, which includes repairs between I-695 and Owings Mills Boulevard.

The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) will begin two projects to repair concrete and upgrade infrastructure on the I-795 Northwest Expressway, according to an SHA press release.

SHA will repair concrete on I-795 between the I-695 beltway and Owings Mills Boulevard. It will also upgrade traffic barriers, repair storm drain systems, resurface ramps at the Owings Mills Boulevard interchange and install new pavement markings, the press release said.

The project costs $9.2 million and should be complete in the fall of 2013, weather permitting.
