New Gates to Streamline Arrivals, Departures
The Pre-Advise system will create a more streamlined intake procedure that will eliminate a stage in the process, Hogans said. “We are finalizing our Broening Highway Gate modernization project and moving toward a paperless environment.”
This gate, which is set to be operational in October, marks an expansion from nine to 13 lanes. “It’s a similar goal as the toll collection efficiency that has been implemented throughout the State of Maryland,” Hogans said. “We’re looking at every aspect of our process to improve the customer experience.”
Meanwhile, another gate on New Vail Street
will add three new outbound lanes exiting Seagirt, increasing the total number from six to nine. This gate will provide additional access to Interstate 95
in addition to Broening Highway. “We’re looking at a December timeframe for that opening,” Hogans said. He added that the New Vail gate will also provide access to the Intermodal Container Transfer Facility, allowing better flow of traffic to the rail facility as a way to prepare for increased business resulting from the Howard Street Tunnel expansion.
