I-95 at Belvidere Interchange Project

I-95 At Belvidere Road Interchange - Home

Overview

The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) is adding an interchange at I-95 and Belvidere Road that will accommodate future economic growth of the nearby Cecil County Enterprise Zone, provide more direct access to and from I-95 for trucks accessing the Zone thereby reducing truck volumes on US 40, MD 222, and MD 272, replace the existing Belvidere Road overpass with a new structure designed to convey traffic between I-95 and Belvidere Road and, include environmental mitigation and reforestation measures.

A $20 million Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) Transportation Discretionary Grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation to Cecil County in 2018 to support the new interchange. The project met the grant criteria for safety, economic competitiveness, quality of life, environmental protection, state of good repair, innovation, partnership, and additional non-Federal revenue for infrastructure investments. 

Under MDTA’s supervision, the $65 million design-build job is being performed by Concrete General, Inc. with design by Whitman, Requardt and Associates, LLP.

Traffic Alert

Overnight Lane Closures and Traffic Drags on I-95 on May 18 and 19, 2026

On Monday, May 18 and Tuesday, May 19, from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning, single- and double-lane closures will take place on northbound and southbound I-95 between mile markers 94 and 95, weather permitting.
One lane in each direction will close around 8 p.m., followed by a second lane on northbound I-95 at 10 p.m., and a second lane on southbound I-95 at 11 p.m. One lane will remain open in each direction.  
Additionally, 15-minute “traffic drags” will take place after midnight, during which time police vehicles will slowly lead motorists through the work zone so crews can safely move equipment. Southbound drags will begin at the MD 272 interchange (Exit 100) and northbound traffic drags will begin at the MD 222 interchange (Exit 93). All lanes are expected to open by 5 a.m.
Closures are necessary to allow workers to move and set steel girders for the new Belvidere Road bridge over I-95.
Motorists are advised to use caution and stay alert while traveling. 

Alternating Single-Lane Traffic on Belvidere Road Over I-95

Beginning Thursday, May 30, 2024, Belvidere Road over I-95 will switch to an alternating traffic pattern maintained in a single lane using a temporary traffic signal. This new traffic pattern is needed to complete the reconstruction of the Belvidere Road bridge over I-95 and is expected to be in effect until early summer 2026. Minor traffic delays are anticipated. Drivers using Belvidere Road should consider alternate routes. Access to all private residences will be maintained throughout the duration of the project.
