Nighttime Work on Solomons Bridge Through Late May

Routine maintenance on the Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge will begin May 11 and continue through later in the month, weather permitting.

Maryland State Highway Administration crews will close a single-lane and alternate traffic in the open lane using an overnight flagging operation Sunday through Thursday, 10pm until 5am the following morning. This work includes bridge joint seal replacement, metal welding, and other repairs.

Portable variable message signs are placed to make travelers aware of the lane closure.

Work will be performed by contractor Covington Machine and Welding of Annapolis.

Overnight travelers should plan extra travel time to cross the bridge. Drivers are asked to stay alert, stay focused, look for reduced speed limits as well as driving pattern changes, and slow down in construction zones.
