BALTIMORE, MD (August 22, 2024)- As summer winds down, the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) reminds drivers that traffic is picking up as the Baltimore area returns to school and commuting routines. The MDTA and its Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) partners are working together to guide commuters through the first Back to School and Fall season without the I-695 Key Bridge.
A new Harbor Crossings web page www.mdta.maryland.gov/harborcrossingsbrings together commuting resources and transportation options to help drivers plan ahead. Since the collapse of the bridge in March, Baltimore-area drivers now experience longer commute times and extended rush-hour periods. The web page includes an infographic showing current heavy commute times when drivers should expect delays for I-95 Fort McHenry Tunnel and I-895 Baltimore Harbor Tunnel. Consider ridesharing or public transportation, and when possible avoid driving during heavy commute times.
