Nighttime repaving to begin on I-270

Beginning next week I-270 motorists will get some extra pain added to their already congested commute. The Maryland State Highway Administration has announced a repaving project starting Aug. 29 along more than one mile of I-270 from I-495 (Capital Beltway) to Old Georgetown Road that is expected to last until next summer.

Crews will replace the center concrete barrier, patch various sections of the road, grind, and pave travel lanes and install new pavement markings. They are scheduled to begin work on the concrete barrier wall after Labor Day.
