I-95 sign
(October 28, 2026) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will make emergency repairs on northbound I-95 in the Columbia area of Howard County. Starting Friday, October 30 at 9 p.m., crews will close three lanes of northbound I-95 prior to westbound MD 32 (Exit 38B) to replace a bridge joint.
The project will continue overnight with crews working throughout Saturday, October 31 until the joint replacement is complete. Only one lane of northbound I-95 will be open to traffic during the work.
Drivers are encouraged plan for delays and consider alternative routes such as US 1 (Washington Boulevard), US 29 (Columbia Pike) or MD 295 (Baltimore Washington Parkway).
The Maryland State Highway Administration is Serious About Safety. Pedestrians and motorists are urged to remain alert and avoid distractions when traveling through the work zone. Motorists should move over or slow down while driving in work zones. Motorists can dial #77 on their mobile devices for roadside assistance.
