A portion of Route 896 southbound is currently shut down to accommodate road maintenance activities in the area where Welsh Tract Road and Old Baltimore Pike intersect.
Transportation officials report that crews are conducting mobile operations to install rumble strips and apply fresh line markings to the roadway surface. The work requires the temporary closure of the southbound lanes in this section.
Motorists traveling through the area should expect delays and plan alternate routes until the maintenance work is completed and normal traffic flow resumes.
