Closures Planned for Liberty Road/I-695 Ramps

The State Highway Administration plans to temporarily close and detour ramps at I-695 and Liberty Road on the nights of April 3-6.

On those nights, expect overnight closures and traffic stops while workers install structural steel for the I-695/MD 26 Bridge replacement project, according to an SHA news release.

The closures and traffic stoppages will begin at 7 p.m. April 3.

Following are details for those nights:

• 7 p.m. to 5 a.m.—Right-lane closures along the inner and outer loop of I-695.
• 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.—Closure and detour at Exit 18B ramp from I-695 north (Beltway Inner Loop) to Liberty Road west. Detour Route: I-695 north past Exit 19, I-795 (Northwest Expressway) to Exit 20, MD 140 (Reisterstown Road), through the interchange to I-695 south, past Exit 19 back to Exit 18 and Liberty Road west.
