Drivers should expect I-695 lane closures in eastern Baltimore County for bridge painting

Drivers on I-695 in eastern Baltimore County should expect lane closures over the next three Saturdays as crews work on two bridges.

The Maryland State Highway Administration says crews will close the left lane on both the Inner and Outer Loops of I-695 near Morse Lane, north of the MD 151/North Point Boulevard interchange.

The closures are scheduled from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on September 26, October 3, and October 10, weather permitting.

Crews will be painting the I-695 bridges over Morse Lane and the Norfolk Southern railroad line.

Morse Lane itself will remain open during the work.

If weather postpones the work, SHA says bridge painting will continue on the next available Saturday.

Drivers are urged to slow down, stay alert and avoid distractions while traveling through the work zone.
