Detours On ICC For E-Tolling System Work: Feb. 14-17

BETHESDA, MD — Plan on taking the Intercounty Connector (ICC/MD 200) between Friday and Monday? Then you may want to find an alternative route to your destination.

Crews will be closing down a stretch of the ICC as the Maryland Transportation Authority implements its next generation electronic tolling systems.

From 9 p.m. on Friday to 5 a.m. on Monday, westbound traffic will be detoured at Georgia Avenue (MD 97).

"The detour route will direct motorists south on Georgia Avenue (MD 97) to west on Norbeck Road, to East Gude Drive, to north on Frederick Road (MD 355) and north on Shady Grove Road back to westbound ICC/MD 200. Those traveling between I-370 and I-95/US 1 may consider taking I-495 when detours are in effect," officials said.

"MDTA plans to have crews working on one gantry in each direction of the ICC per weekend. MDTA will issue additional traffic advisories as work progresses and schedules are finalized. Work will be scheduled during off-peak hours, including weekends and overnight," officials added.
