HOWARD COUNTY, MD — The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration has completed the $5.6 million rehabilitation of the MD 94 (Woodbine Road) bridge over I-70 in Lisbon. The MD 94 bridge was originally constructed in 1971.

The project, which started in the spring of 2022, included the replacement of the two-lane bridge deck and repairs to bridge piers and abutments.

During the project, one lane was closed while two-way traffic operated in the remaining open lane, alternated by traffic signals at each end. Additionally, to protect I-70 drivers from construction debris, a temporary shield was installed under the MD 94 bridge. This past week, crews returned the bridge to two-way operations and removed the debris shield, restoring the full 17-foot vehicle height clearance on I-70.
