A Message from MDOT’s Commuter Choice Maryland Program
Following the tragic collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge (I-695) and the painful loss of six construction crew members who were working on the bridge, Maryland residents, employees, and employers have experienced disruptions to traffic and commuting patterns.
