Governor Larry Hogan has ordered the closure of a section of Interstate 70 and the full length of Interstate 270 in Maryland overnight.

Interstate 70 will be closed from I-695 (Baltimore Beltway) to I-81 in Hagerstown until 7:00 AM Sunday. The entire length of Interstate 270 in Montgomery and Frederick counties will be closed during the same time period.

The closure is effective immediately.
