(MDOT SHA photo: Large hole on westbound MD 32 prior to MD 295 Closes Two Left Lanes.)

The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) is performing emergency road work associated with a large hole on westbound MD 32 prior to MD 295 (Baltimore-Washington Parkway) in Anne Arundel County.

The 8-by-8-foot hole has forced the closure of two left lanes on westbound MD 32 and this will likely last until further notice. Motorists are encouraged to use MD 175 (Annapolis Road) or MD 198 (Laurel-Fort Meade Road) as alternate routes. Approximately 78,000 vehicles use this section of MD 32 each day, so motorists are encouraged to allow extra commute time.
