Inner Harbor/Northside
Contract 3 will focus on the reconstruction of city streets in the Inner Harbor and on the northside, creating safer access to businesses and residences for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists.
Additional work includes consolidating multiple on-and-off-ramps exiting southbound Interstate 81, creating a new interchange at North Clinton and Bear Streets that connects with future Business Loop 81.
The Bear, Court, and Spencer Street bridges will be lengthened to fit over the expanded Business Loop 81. Sidewalks will also be added, along with a shared use path on the Court and Spencer Street bridges.
Construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2024 and is anticipated to be complete by the end of 2025.
