The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will continue its routine bridge inspection of the MD 4 bridge over the Patuxent River (Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge) on Monday night, December 9.

Starting at 9 p.m., crews will close one lane and alternate traffic in the open lane using a flagging operation. Overnight travelers should plan extra travel time to cross the bridge; all work is weather permitting.

Customers may contact the District 5 Office at 410-841-1000 or toll-free at 1-800-331-5603 for additional information.

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.
