The Maryland State Highway Administration will close one lane of I-68 in both directions for overnight patching work in Allegany County starting Monday, Nov. 2.

The work zone runs between Exit 40 (Vocke Road) and Kelly Road. Crews from Belt Paving Inc. of Cumberland will perform road surface patching from Monday, Nov. 2 through Friday, Nov. 13.

Schedule

Lane closures will be in effect nightly from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., weather permitting. Single-lane closures will alternate between the eastbound and westbound lanes.

Motorists traveling through the work zone should expect delays and plan extra travel time. Signage, construction barrels, and cones will guide drivers through the area.
