Late-night repairs to close lanes on Md. Beltway Tuesday

WASHINGTON–Late-night commuters in Prince George’s County may want to avoid taking the Inner Loop of the Beltway home Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning.

Beginning at 9 p.m. Tuesday night, the Maryland State Highway Administration will shut down three lanes on Interstate 495 on the bridge over Suitland Parkway. One lane will be closed at 9 p.m., two at 10 p.m., and three at 11 p.m. All  lanes are expected to reopen by 5 a.m. Wednesday morning. At least one lane of the Beltway will be open to traffic.

These overnight closures will allow crews to repair a puncture on the roadway. The puncture was found during maintenance on the bridge deck’s driving surface.
