The Maryland State Highway Administration has announced that a portion of the Baltimore-Washington Parkway will be closed for two weekends in Jessup, where a bridge will be demolished as part of an interchange reconstruction project. The closures will impact several ramps and lanes on both the northbound and southbound sides of the parkway.

Why it matters

The B-W Parkway is a critical transportation artery connecting Baltimore and Washington, D.C., and the closures will impact travel to and from the region, including access to Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. The project is part of a larger effort to reconstruct the interchange at MD Route 175.

The details

The southbound MD 295 will close between Maryland Routes 100 and 32 starting at 10 p.m. on April 10 until 5 a.m. on April 13, with closures of both ramps from MD 100 and Arundel Mills Boulevard onto southbound MD 295, as well as the southbound MD 295 ramp to eastbound and westbound MD 175 and the westbound MD 175 ramp to southbound MD 295. The northbound MD 295 will close between Maryland Routes 32 and 100 starting at 10 p.m. on April 17 until 5 a.m. on April 20, with closures of both ramps from MD 32 onto northbound MD 295, the eastbound MD 175 ramp to northbound MD 295, and the northbound MD 295 ramp to eastbound and westbound MD 175. The mainline MD 175 lanes on the new bridge will remain open to traffic.

  • The southbound MD 295 will close between Maryland Routes 100 and 32 starting at 10 p.m. on April 10 until 5 a.m. on April 13.
  • The northbound MD 295 will close between Maryland Routes 32 and 100 starting at 10 p.m. on April 17 until 5 a.m. on April 20.
