The entrance ramp from MD 210 North (Indian Head Highway) to the Capital Beltway East (Outer Loop) will close for approximately one year starting as early as next Monday, October 25^th. Travelers will now use a new ramp located off of Oxon Hill Road (MD 414) Eastbound, immediately past the Oxon Hill Road and MD 210 Intersection. To access this detour, northbound drivers heading for the eastbound Beltway will:

To minimize the unavoidable inconvenience that this detour will place on Maryland drivers, several helpful measures have or will be instituted:

• The right turn lane from MD 210 North to Oxon Hill Road Eastbound was extended approximately 200 feet in the past year to specifically facilitate this detour. This extended right-turn lane will help keep detour-related impacts from affecting through-traffic using MD 210 North. A third continuous lane along MD 210 North also was added through the Oxon Hill Road Intersection to improve conditions for northbound motorists.
• Signal timing at all nearby intersections will be adjusted and continually monitored to better accommodate detoured drivers, as well as through-traffic
• Traffic engineers and personnel from the Wilson Bridge Project will regularly monitor the detour and signal timing, and refinements may be made based on real-world observation.

Anticipated to remain in effect for approximately one year, this ramp closure is necessary for the reconstruction of the MD 210 and Oxon Hill Road Intersection, as part of the overall Woodrow Wilson Bridge Project. The new intersection will be grade separated, with MD 210 becoming a flyover ramp over Oxon Hill Road. During the next year, workers will begin rebuilding the ramp from MD 210 North to the Beltway Outer Loop, which includes constructing an 80-foot longer and three-foot higher bridge portion over Oxon Hill Road. G.A. & F.C. Wagman, Inc. is the contractor on this portion of the project.
