Motorists Can Expect Night Double-Lane Closures for Two Evenings 

The Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration will make repairs to the MD 355 (Rockville Pike) bridge over the outer loop of  I-495 (Capital Beltway)​ beginning on January 24 near Bethesda. The repairs should be complete by Friday, January 26, weather permitting.

Crews will close two right lanes on January 24 between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. Thursday and two left lanes at 9 p.m. on Thursday, January 25 until 5 a.m. on Friday, January 26. Drivers should expect delays and add extra driving time during the repair project.
