Crashes and construction slow monday morning drive across maryland

BALTIMORE, MD – Maryland commuters encountered scattered delays Monday morning as a mix of crashes, debris, and ongoing roadwork slowed travel along several key routes across the state.

In Howard County, southbound traffic on I-95 was affected by an early morning incident near Exit 43A (MD 100) around 5:50 a.m. No lane closures were reported, but congestion persisted through the 8 a.m. hour. Another disruption was reported on MD 97 at Frederick Road, where debris in the roadway briefly impeded traffic in both directions.

In Anne Arundel County, emergency crews responded to a collision on MD 100 eastbound near Exit 8 (Coca Cola Drive) just after 8:30 a.m. Minor delays were reported as lanes remained open during cleanup.

Further east, a crash on US 50 in Queen Anne’s County near Carmichael Road occurred around 6:07 a.m., temporarily slowing eastbound traffic approaching Kent Island.

Statewide, multiple construction projects continued to affect travel. In Anne Arundel County, MD 2 southbound saw lane restrictions between Central Avenue and Fairhaven Road, as well as between Treiber Lane and Polling House Road, for scheduled maintenance. Crews were also working along MD 171 eastbound from Matthews Avenue to Pope Street, where lane closures were in effect.

In Allegany County, long-term roadwork continued on I-68 in both directions between mile markers 36 and 49, with crews conducting maintenance near the Rocky Gap Road area.

No weather-related hazards were reported statewide, and traffic conditions remained dry and clear through the morning.

Several morning crashes and ongoing construction projects slowed traffic on I-95, MD 100, and US 50 as Maryland commuters navigated the Monday rush.
