BALTIMORE, MD—The Maryland Transportation Authority has announced a new I-695 closure point due to last month’s collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

Effective Monday morning, the new Inner Loop closure will be at MD 151/North Point Boulevard (exit 42) which will be the last exit for drivers. Outer Loop closure remains intact at MD 173 (exit 1). The above map is effective Monday (4/15).

All traffic on I-695 Inner Loop must exit at Exit 42 (MD 151/North Point Blvd.).  Traffic bound for I-695 Outer Loop will take Eastbound MD 158 (Bethlehem Blvd.) to the on-ramp to the Outer Loop. Traffic exiting the I-695 Inner Loop wishing to return to the I-695 Outer Loop should follow Exit 42 towards MD 151 (North Point Blvd.) north to Cove Road. Motorists should follow posted detours. Expect one travel lane on the Outer Loop from MD 158 (Bethlehem Blvd.) to the MD 151 (North Point Blvd.) overpass.

The Maryland Transportation Authority is continuously evaluating roadway conditions as the project progresses. Major updates will be posted on the project website. For the latest, visit the Key Bridge Updates page.
