GREENBELT — Maryland State Highway Administration officials say crews are working to repair cracks found in overpasses on the Intercounty Connector.

Inspectors for the administration have discovered cracks on 10 bridges along the new $2.5 billion toll highway. David Buck, a spokesman for the agency, says half of those cracks were found last year.

This week, the Washington Examiner was first to report on the existence of two of the most recently discovered cracks.

Buck says the overpasses are still safe for motorists to use.
