Tydings Bridge Foundation Repair Begins Saturday
Underwater repairs will be done this weekend on the bridge carrying Interstate 95 over the Susquehanna River.

Motorists can expect some additional traffic and construction-related noise when traveling Interstate 95 over the Millard E. Tydings Memorial Bridge this weekend.
Underwater repairs to the bridge's foundation will be carried out from 7 a.m. on Saturday to 3 p.m. on Sunday. Work may also be performed the following weekend, Aug. 18-19.
According to a statement from the Maryland Transportation Authority, the construction "is part of a preservation project to perform underwater foundation (concrete piers/bridge supports) repairs to the Tydings Bridge and is necessary to the structural integrity of the bridge piers."
