Baltimore, MD - June 23, 2025 - The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration announced that work hours will be extended for the resurfacing project on I-83, also known as the Baltimore-Harrisburg Expressway, in northern Baltimore County.
The project, which affects both northbound and southbound lanes between Middletown Road and Downes Road, begins today, June 23, and is expected to continue through mid-summer.
The decision to extend work hours follows recent rainstorms that left previously milled sections of asphalt pavement exposed to the elements, necessitating accelerated paving efforts.
Motorists should anticipate temporary single-lane closures during both daytime and overnight hours, as well as on weekends, whenever weather conditions permit.
Drivers are encouraged to use MD 45 (York Road) as an alternate route.
Temporary traffic signs and cones will be used to guide motorists through the work zone.
Motorcyclists are advised to be cautious of uneven pavement surfaces during the resurfacing process.
The State Highway Administration emphasized the importance of maintaining safe traffic mobility in work zones for both crews and drivers. Motorists are urged to stay alert, focus on driving, and be aware of reduced speed limits and other changes to traffic patterns.
