Electrical Work To Close I-795 At Franklin Boulevard

REISTERSTOWN, MD — This weekend BGE crews will stretch an electrical wire across Interstate 795, prompting a traffic alert from the Maryland State Highway Administration.

Crews will pull a "neutral electric service wire across all lanes of I-795" near Franklin Boulevard, state highway officials reported.

Between 4 and 7 a.m. on Sunday, March 6, officials said traffic stops and lane closures are possible in the area.

When the BGE crew is ready, Maryland State Police may stop traffic on I-795 for up to 15 minutes, officials said.

Drivers should allow extra time if they plan to use I-795 between Owings Mills and Reisterstown Sunday morning or use MD 140/Reisterstown Road as an alternate route, authorities advised.

If the weather does not permit the wire pull, officials said it would be rescheduled by one week and take place on Sunday, March 13.
