The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration is alerting drivers about upcoming lane closures on I-695.

Work is resuming following the I-695 crash that left six dead back in March 2023.

Crews will start to restripe lanes to move traffic to the right, letting them continue their work in the center median.

On July 14, work will begin on the inner loop of I-695 at I-70 and move north and east to I-83, then onto the outer loop lanes from I-83 to I-70.

Crews will close one lane at 8:00 pm, two at 10:00 pm, and three lanes at 11:00 pm.

Work on the beltway will take place Sundays through Thursdays and lanes will reopen no later than 5:00 am each morning.

Along with this project, the State Highway Administration has another project in the works at theI-695/I-95 interchange in Arbutus.

Officials say the combination of these projects will cause congestion overnight on the beltway.

Drivers are urged to find alternate routes or change their travel times.
