Bel Air, MD – Motorists traveling through Harford County should prepare for major detours this weekend as multiple ramps along Interstate 95 near Maryland Route 24 will be closed for construction.
According to the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA), closures begin Friday at 10 p.m. and will last until 5 a.m. Monday. Crews will work on the I-95 Express Toll Lanes (ETL) Northbound Extension and MD 24 interchange reconstruction during this time.
The following ramps will be closed beginning Friday night:
- The on-ramp from northbound MD 24 to southbound I-95
- The off-ramp from northbound I-95 to MD 924 (Exit 77B)
Additional closures are scheduled to start Saturday at 8 a.m. The off-ramp from southbound I-95 to MD 924 (Exit 77B) will remain shut until the project wraps up early Monday.
Detours are posted for drivers. Northbound I-95 traffic headed to MD 924 will be redirected via Exit 77A to Emmorton Road and Emmorton Park Road. Southbound I-95 travelers needing access to MD 924 must continue south to Exit 74 at MD 152, loop back onto northbound I-95, and use Exit 77A to reach MD 924.
MDTA officials encourage drivers to plan ahead and allow extra travel time, especially with heavy holiday weekend traffic expected. Maps outlining the detour routes are available on MDTA’s official website and social media pages.
The I-95 ETL Northbound Extension is a multi-year project aimed at improving safety and traffic flow along the busy corridor. The agency said additional weekend closures should be anticipated as work continues through 2025.
