Mt. Airy, Md. (DG) – The Maryland State Highway Administration will begin repairs next week on the eastbound I-70 bridge over Route 27 in Mount Airy, Carroll County. The bridge over northbound Route 27 was damaged last fall after being struck by a truck, forcing the closure of the southbound Route 27 ramp onto eastbound I-70.
Construction will run weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with a single-lane closure on northbound Route 27. Three weekends of work are also scheduled in March, when northbound Route 27 will fully close and traffic will be detoured using Route 94. The project is expected to wrap up this spring, weather permitting. Automated speed enforcement will be in place, and drivers are urged to slow down and stay alert in the work zone.
