Phase 1 South: #AmericanLegionBridge I-270 to I-370 offers multimodal choices and benefits for all. There is no one travel solution to improving regional congestion – all modes need to be considered, allowing people to choose what works best for them.

Major pipe failure looked small on surface of SB I-270, but it was only the tip of the iceberg. Damage underneath was not visible to drivers but is 20 ft wide, 15 ft long & 12 ft deep. Crews are installing new 80-ft pipe w/a focus on your safety. #mdotcares #mdotsafety #mdtraffic
