Roadwork as part of the I-95 Express Toll Lanes project is expected to close a ramp Sunday night into Monday morning.
According to a Maryland Transportation Authority alert released Thursday afternoon:
Sunday, Sept. 23, and Monday, Sept. 24, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning, the ramp from eastbound MD 43 (White Marsh Boulevard) to southbound I-95 will be temporarily closed for night work. Traffic will be detoured to northbound I-95, to westbound MD 43 (Exit 67B, White Marsh Boulevard), to southbound I-95.
The White Marsh portion of the project carries a $142.6 million price tag and is expected to create 400 new jobs. The total project, which stretches from north of White Marsh along I-95 to south of the Interstate 895/Moravia Road interchange, will cost $1.03 billion and is expected to be finished by 2014, according to the transportation authority.
Real-time traffic camera images of state roadways are available atmdta.maryland.gov. Travel information is also available by calling 511 or visiting md511.org.

I'm for anything that will aleviate some of the traffic backups in and around the White Marsh mall area. Do any of these new configurations address that?
