County Adds a Week to I-795 Ramp Closure

Baltimore County has announced that work will continue on the bridge to Owings Mills Mall.

A bad streak of weather has forced structural repairs on the I-795 ramp to extend into next week, according to a county press release.

The 25-year-old, single-lane bridge designed to bring traffic directly to the Owings Mills Mall will detour to Owings Mills Boulevard, where drivers can make a left at Red Run Boulevard for access. It will be closed from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily until the work is completed.

Repairs to the ramp should cost about $25,000, according to the release.
