About the Project
This project is repairing and rehabilitating two bridges along ramps from I-495 (Capital Beltway) to the northbound I-395 main lanes. One of the bridges carries over northbound I-495 (Inner Loop) the ramp from southbound I-495 (Outer Loop) to northbound I-395; the other bridge carries over the Norfolk Southern Railroad both the ramp from the Outer Loop to northbound I-395, and the ramp from the Inner Loop to northbound I-395.
Work on the Norfolk Southern Railroad bridge, which was built in 1959, includes:
- Replacing the concrete deck,
- Repairing the pre-stressed concrete beams, concrete piers and abutments
- Paving the approach to the bridge
- Replacing bearings
Work on the bridge (built in 1975) over the Inner Loop includes:
- Resurfacing the concrete deck
- Repairing the concrete piers and abutments
- Repainting steel beams
- Replacing bearings
- Removing or replacing joints
Estimated Costs
Preliminary Engineering: $800,000
Construction: $6.7 million
Total: $7.5 million
Traffic Impacts
At least one lane of the ramp will be open at all times. Drivers are asked to be cautious when driving through the work zone.
