And changes are coming along the bay bridge, starting march 6th. Next week, during times when there's two way traffic on the westbound span, drivers will experience the new automated lane closure system on U.S. 50. The new system is designed to enhance safety for drivers and workers by replacing the use of barrels to close off lanes with overhead signals and other features. Full color message signs start two and a half miles before the bay bridge on U.S. 50, giving drivers more notice than ever of the lane closures that are ahead.

So expect some residual volume on two 95, some capital street, all through and trying to get to the district a little sluggish right now, but better news on the Baltimore Washington Parkway. They cleared the crash north near the beltway, so go any delays inside of the beltway, all the delays have now migrated outside of the beltway and from about cream belt through Laurel expect some heavy volume north on the Parkway, 95 as a bailout, not so good. You've got delays heading north passing two 16 toward the Howard county rest area where you'll find a right lane block with work. They're now working southbound 95 as well after one 75.
