Nighttime construction work underway on Rt. 90 in June

(June 22, 2023) Milling and patching work that commenced Sunday on Route 90 that has forced motorists traveling at night during the week to find ulterior routes to and from the island is expected to continue until the end of the month.

According to a news release, Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration crews began the overnight work on June 18, forcing closure of the midtown corridor from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., Sunday through Thursday, from Routes 50 to 113.

The work has closed lanes in both directions, with the following detours in place:

Motorists traveling east on Route 50 — continue east on Route 50 to Route 589 (Racetrack Road), turn left onto Route 589 and follow to Route 90, and turn either east or west onto

Route 90.

Motorists traveling west on Route 90 — continue west on Route 90 to Route 589 and take a right onto the ramp to Route 589 south (left at light), follow Route 589 to Route 50, and take Route 50 west.

The release SHA officials understand detours and roadwork can be an inconvenience, but contend the work is necessary to maintain a safe and reliable transportation system. Motorists in need are asked to dial #77 on their mobile devices for roadside assistance.
