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.
