The northbound tube of the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel (I-895) will be closed continuously until the end of June. Two-way traffic (one lane in each direction) will operate in the southbound tube. Motorists are reminded to obey speed limits and stay in your lane. In April, the southbound tube closed continuously for work with two-way in the northbound tube.
Weather permitting, the northbound tube will close at 8:30 p.m. on Friday, June 19, until June 29. Drivers should expect additional tube closures as crews work towards the completion of this project. MDTA will issue additional traffic advisories as work progresses and schedules are finalized.
The closures are part of the Maryland Transportation Authority’s (MDTA) three-year, $189 million project to replace the 60-year-old I-895 Bridge and the Holabird Avenue exit ramp north of the Harbor Tunnel and rehabilitate the Harbor Tunnel. The project began in April 2018 and is expected to be completed in summer 2021. Work includes repairs to the tunnel portal, approach walls, and tile & pump replacement.
