» 90 days ago: Baltimore Beltway blasting to slow traffic Wednesday night «

TOWSON (Map, News) - Traffic on Baltimore’s Beltway could slow to a crawl Wednesday night as crews blast through underground rocks to make way for a new sewer line in Towson, state transportation officials said.

Maryland’s State Highway Administration will implement a “rolling closure” on Interstate 695 between York and Dulaney Valley roads beginning about 10 p.m., said agency officials. A private contractor installing a new sewer line has until 4 a.m. Thursday to complete the work, but could finish earlier, said Charlie Gischlar, an SHA spokesman.

Police vehicles will slow traffic below the 55 miles-per-hour speed limit, and motorists can resume normal speeds after the site. Drivers can use Joppa or Seminary roads to avoid the work, Gischlar said.
