Emergency Repairs to Slow Traffic on I-95 Near Laurel

Drivers should expect delays on Interstate 95 in the area of MD Route 216/Scaggsville Road Tuesday afternoon due to emergency roadwork, officials said.

At 12:30 p.m., crews planned to begin making emergency repairs on the bridge on I-95 north over Stansfield Road, the State Highway Administration reported after noon.

Workers will close the two left lanes to repair the deck, according to the report.

Drivers should anticipate delays on both I-95 north and south in the area because of the double-lane closure, the State Highway Administration said.

The administration recommended the following alternate routes for I-95 north commuters:

• MD 295 (Baltimore Washington Parkway)
• US 1 (Baltimore Avenue)
• US 29 (Columbia Pike)
• MD 198 west to northbound US 29

The closure could impact the afternoon rush hour, according to the State Highway Administration, which said drivers may view the latest traffic conditions here: www.md511.org.
