Travel

"Recommended" routes are likely to have the most favorable traffic at most times. Consider "Alternate" routes, if traffic appears heavier on the recommended route. Note: The "Alternate" routes are the simplest directions from I-495. The "Recommended" routes take back roads yet may avoid traffic. Please print both directions, as Alternate is the least "complicated" route.


For recorded directions via telephone, dial 301.314.MAPS (6277).

For personal assistance via telephone, dial the University Visitor Center at 301.314.7777, Monday through Friday, 8:30-5:00 and Saturday from 9:00 to 3:00.

Locally you can listen to 103.5 WTOP (FM) for traffic conditions in the Baltimore/Washington region.
