Baltimore's Harbor Tunnel Northbound Bore Reopens June 10

BALTIMORE, MD -- Drivers should make note that northbound I-895 remains closed 24-7 from the north side of the Harbor Tunnel to the Boston/O'Donnell Street exit ramp (Exit 11) while the northbound bore of the tunnel reopens to traffic Monday, June 10, at 4:30 a.m. The Harbor Tunnel will remain open 24/7 with one lane running northbound and two lanes open running southbound. Also, the I-895/Holabird Avenue exit ramp (Exit 10) remains closed 24/7. That ramp will not reopen to traffic in spring 2020.

The northbound Harbor Tunnel closed for 60 days on April 13 as part of the Maryland Transportation Authority’s (MDTA) $189 million I-895 bridge project. Work performed during the 60-day closure included drainage repairs, new line striping and the installation of a new concrete overlay within the northbound bore and at both portals. The I-895 bridge project will replace the 60-year-old I-895 bridge, the MDTA's only remaining structurally deficient bridge, located north of the Harbor Tunnel. Work includes replacing the Holabird Avenue exit ramp and rehabilitating the Harbor Tunnel, including repairs to the tunnel portal, approach ramps and walls, deck and tiles. The project began in April 2018 and is expected to be completed in summer 2021.

Drivers should avoid I-895 and use I-695 and I-95 as alternative routes.
