Motorists traveling on I-495 will need to slow down as transportation authorities have implemented a temporary speed reduction due to current weather conditions.
The speed limit along the highway has been lowered to 55 miles per hour as rain creates potentially dangerous driving conditions for commuters and travelers.
Officials made the decision to reduce speeds as a precautionary safety measure while wet weather persists in the area. Drivers are advised to exercise additional caution and maintain appropriate following distances while the temporary speed restriction remains in effect.
