M27 and I-695 Motorway Upgrades Cause Closures

In Maryland, intermittent lane closures on I-695, part of a congestion relief project, will begin on October 14, focusing on the sections between I-70 and Stevenson Road, as well as I-83. These works, continuing until spring 2025, aim to enhance road reliability by installing drainage systems and speed enforcement measures. Meanwhile, the M5 in the UK is experiencing significant delays due to a lorry accident, resulting in two lane closures and long traffic queues. Furthermore, England's M27 motorway is undergoing a major upgrade, involving the installation of a low-noise surface and gradient adjustments of slip roads, causing overnight closures until October 27. This project, affecting thousands of daily commuters, is expected to last until next spring.
