Harford County, MD – Drivers traveling southbound on Interstate 95 in Harford County should prepare for a new traffic pattern beginning this week near the MD 24 interchange, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA).
According to MDTA, a new split traffic configuration will begin the week of January 19 just south of the MD 24 interchange (Exit 77) as part of ongoing construction. Southbound traffic on I-95 will be divided, with one lane shifting to the left and three lanes moving to the right of newly installed barrier walls.
Transportation officials say the change is designed to safely move traffic through the work zone while crews continue construction on the interchange. Drivers will see advance signage guiding them through the lane split as they approach the area.
MDTA is urging motorists to stay alert, slow down, and follow posted signs, noting that the speed limit through the work zone has been reduced to 55 mph. Delays are possible during peak travel times, especially during the first few days as drivers adjust to the new pattern.
The MD 24 interchange project is part of a broader effort to improve traffic flow and safety along this heavily traveled corridor connecting Harford County to the Baltimore region.
Motorists who frequently travel I-95 southbound through the area are encouraged to allow extra time, especially during morning and evening rush hours. Additional updates may be issued as construction progresses or traffic patterns change.
More information and project details are available on the MDTA website.
