deletions or restrictions of the Interstate
system or other National Network route
based upon specified justification
criteria in section 658.11(d)(2). Requests
for deletions are published in the
Federal Register for notice and
comment.
Notice and Request for Comment
The FHWA published a Notice and
Request for Comment on July 9, seeking
comments from the general public on
this request submitted by the MDTA for
a deletion in accordance with 23 CFR
658.11(d). The comment period closed
on August 9. No public comments were
received.
The FHWA sought comments on this
request for temporary deletion from the
National Network in accordance with 23
CFR 658.11(d). Specifically, the request
is for approval of the temporary closure
of I–395 just south of Conway Street in
the city of Baltimore from the period
beginning Wednesday August 29, at
approximately 6 p.m. through Tuesday,
September 4, at around 6 a.m.,
encompassing the Labor Day holiday.
This closure will be undertaken in
support of the BGP which will use the
streets of downtown Baltimore as a race
course. It is anticipated the BGP event
will be hosted in the city of Baltimore
for the next 4 consecutive years. The
inaugural event occurred September 2
through September 4, 2011. The event is
expected to attract 160,000 spectators
over a 3–4 day period, not including the
event organizer workforce and
volunteers, the racing organizations and
their respective personnel, or media and
vendors. Event planners expect
spectators from within a 400-mile radius
of the city, with a large portion traveling
the I–95 corridor. It is anticipated that
the attendance for the peak day
(Sunday) will reach 70,000 people with
most arriving by private vehicle.
The construction and operation of the
race course will create safety concerns
by obstructing access from the I–395
northern terminus to the local street
system including Howard Street,
Conway Street, and Lee Street.
However, an existing connection from I–
395 to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard
will remain open throughout the event.
In addition, access to and from I–95 into
and out of the city along alternative
access routes, including US 1, US 40,
Russell Street, and Washington
Boulevard will be maintained. The BGP
and the city plan to update the 2011
signing plan to inform and guide
motorists to, through, and around the
impacted downtown area. The statewide
transportation operations system, the
Coordinated Highways Action Response
Team, will provide real-time traffic
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
information to motorists through
dynamic message signs and highway
advisory radio. The MDTA states that
the temporary closure of this segment of
I–395 to general traffic should have no
impact on Interstate commerce. I–95,
the main north-south Interstate route in
the region, will remain open during the
time period of the event. There are five
additional I–95 interchanges, just to the
north or south of I–395, with
connections to the local street system
including the arterials servicing the
city’s downtown area. A sign and
supplemental traffic control systems
plan was developed as part of the 2011
event’s Traffic Management Plan (TMP).
In addition, I–695 (Baltimore Beltway)
will provide motorists traveling through
the region the ability to bypass the
impact area by circling around the city.
Commercial motor vehicles of the
dimensions and configurations
described in 23 CFR 658.13 and 658.15
which serve the impacted area, may use
the alternate routes listed above.
Vehicles servicing the businesses
bordering the impacted area will still be
able to do so by also using the
alternative routes noted above to
circulate around the restricted area. In
addition, vehicles not serving
businesses in the restricted area but,
currently using I–395 and the local
street system to reach their ultimate
destinations, will be able to use the I–
95 interchanges north and south of I–
395 to access the alternative routes. A
map depicting the alternative routes is
available electronically at the docket
established for this notice at https://
www.regulations.gov. The MDTA has
reviewed these alternative routes and
determined the routes to generally be
capable of safely accommodating the
diverted traffic during the period of
temporary restriction. As mentioned
previously, the sign and supplemental
traffic control system plan is also being
updated as part of the event’s TMP.
Commercial vehicles as well as general
traffic leaving the downtown area will
also be able to use the alternative routes
to reach I–95 and the rest of the
Interstate System. The BGP and the city
are working closely with businesses,
including the hotels and restaurants
located within the impact area, to
schedule deliveries prior to the
proposed I–395 closure to the extent
feasible. The BGP is also working with
affected businesses to schedule delivery
services during the event period.
The original plan uses a credentialing
process for access through designated
gates with access to specific loading
areas. This request to temporarily close
I–395 was prepared for the MDTA by
the BGP and the city. In addition, the
PO 00000
Frm 00110
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

city has reached out to the Federal,
State, and local agencies to collaborate
and coordinate efforts to address the
logistical challenges of hosting the BGP.
The BGP and the city have worked
extensively with the businesses and
residential communities in the city that
could be affected by the event. These
efforts include the formation of Task
Forces and event Sub-Committees, to
guide the development of plans for
event security, transportation
management, public safety and more.
The FHWA did not receive any
comments in response to the Notice and
Request for Comment. After full
consideration of the MDTA request
discussed in this final notice and
determining that the request meets the
requirements of 23 CFR 658.11(d),
FHWA approves the deletion as
proposed.
