TRAFFIC ALERT: Md State Highway Admin is performing maintenance at Westbound US 50 bridge over the Severn River near Annapolis for the next few days -- weather permitting. 
Work Includes Guardrail and General Bridge Repairs, March 20-25;

The right lane will be closed until the work is completed.

The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will temporarily close the right lane of westbound US 50 (John Hanson Highway) between the MD 2 (Ritchie Highway) on-ramp and the Severn River Bridge next week for bridge repairs. The right lane closure will remain in effect day and night until the work is complete on March 25, weather permitting. The week-long, 24/7 right lane closure is necessary to ensure worker safety due to the proximity of the work area and traffic on westbound US 50, as well as the required time for the new concrete to achieve its necessary load-bearing weight.
The work also includes replacing damaged guardrail, concrete aprons and posts. 

Drivers, particularly those traveling from southbound MD 2 onto westbound US 50, must remain alert as they merge into the US 50 travel lanes. Drivers should plan on extra commute time and consider using alternate routes.

Portable variable message signs will be in place to remind drivers of the work. 

Contractor TeamCam Services, of Linthicum, will perform the work.
