The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration said it would resurface eastbound I-70 Local, also marked as MD 570, from east of I-695 to the Baltimore City line near the park-and-ride lot in Baltimore City.
In a Sept. 24 traffic alert, the administration said work could start as soon as 8 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 27, and was expected to finish by mid-October, weather permitting. Crews would spend about two weeks removing and resurfacing concrete and asphalt where needed, with temporary lane shifts and closures and with up to 24-hour closures while concrete is poured, cured and tested. After about a week of concrete work, asphalt paving would follow, with lane shifts and closures from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday nights through Thursday mornings.
The primary contractor on the $252,000 areawide paving project is Allan Myers MD, Inc., of Fallston, the official alert said. The administration told drivers to watch for signs and cones, obey posted speed limits and stay alert in the work zone, and noted that motorists can dial #77 for roadside assistance.
