Ramp to Harford Road to close
The State Highway Administration will close a ramp from the Beltway to Harford Road Monday as part of its $9 million Parkville Streetscape project, which includes a realignment of the ramp to allow safer merging.
The ramp from eastbound Interstate 695 to southbound Harford Road (Route 147) will close Monday at 10 a.m. and remain shut down for two weeks. Motorists will be diverted to northbound Harford Road in order to loop back to the south.
The streetscape project is intended to improve the appearance, operations and safety of the 2-mile stretch of Harford between Joppa Road and the city line. The highway agency said the project is expected to be completed in late summer.
State highway officials plan a community meeting on the streetscape project June 15 at 6:30 p.m. at The Parkville Senior Center, 8601 Harford Road.
