Moravia Road/I-895 Interchange
Client: MdTA
Location: Baltimore, MD

ALA developed complete construction documents for the two-phase replacement of these adjacent bridges and approach roadways over I-895.

For the Moravia Road Interchange, ALA designed the vertically and horizontally modified interchange including the six-lane roadway alignment and detail plans, drainage design and details, utility coordination, and complex maintenance-of-traffic design and plans to accommodate the revised profile and alignment.

ALA also performed the design and plan preparation for the construction of the Moravia Road Bridge. The bridge was constructed in two phases to maintain traffic and multiple utilities on the existing bridge. The bridge consists of a two-span continuous steel girder superstructure with span lengths of 120-ft and 130-ft. The bridge also accommodates a mid-bridge intersection with the terminus of the I-895 Managed Lanes and supports a 12” diameter water main, and electrical and telephone utilities.

ALA was also responsible for the adjacent Moravia Park Drive reconstruction project involving a new bridge and approach roadways. ALA was responsible for the design of a three-lane roadway with curb and gutter section, drainage system modifications design, maintenance of traffic plans, and coordination for signage and pavement marking plans for the 1,000 ft long project. ALA also provided complete design for the Moravia Park Drive bridge consisting of a two-span continuous steel girder superstructure with span lengths of 120-ft and 132-ft. This bridge was also designed to be constructed in two phases to minimize impacts to existing traffic and reduce the alignment shift.

Both bridges accommodate architectural enhancements developed for the I-95 Section 100 Corridor Project. Construction of both bridges was staged in two phases to maintain traffic and utilities on the existing bridge.
