Update: SHA Changes Time of Forestville Bridge Closure

Update, 4 p.m. The State Highway Administration has changed the time of the temporary road closure along Forestville Bridge Road this Thursday, opting for 10 p.m. instead of 10:30 a.m. 

The road will be closed so workers can use a crane to install a sign structure near the bridge along the roadway. The closure will last no longer than 20 minutes, according to the SHA.

Original post: As state workers continue to fix Forestville Bridge Road over the Capital Beltway, the State Highway Administration will temporarily close Forestville Road on Nov. 3.

The closure will begin at 10:30 a.m. and last for about 20 minutes, according to SHA. The work is weather permitting. The road is being closed so workers can use a crane to install a sign structure near the bridge. 

Motorists on the north side of the bridge can use MD 337 (Allentown Road) as an alternate route. Motorists on the south side can use MD 4 (Pennsylvania Avenue).
