The third is encountered at exit 60 and is the site of the southwestern terminus of the Windlass Freeway, a relief route for US 40 (part of the route was eventually built and is today part of I-695 ). The interchange that exists at this site is in partial use, serving the Moravia Road freeway spur; like the other two inner-city locations, ramp stubs mark
760-590: A result, I-95 in Maryland had multiple conflicting sequences of exit numbers. In the mid-1980s, the exits were renumbered according to a statewide, mileage-based numbering system , so that they now range from exit 2 ( I-295 north) on the Capital Beltway to exit 109 ( MD 279 ) on the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway. To allow a seamless connection between the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway and
855-459: A single exotically named location. Having turned east, the route now runs straight toward the Delaware state line, passing under MD 213 north of Elkton with no access offered and then reaching the exit 109 interchange with MD 279 , which provides a direct route into Elkton and Newark, Delaware . I-95's run through Maryland comes to an end quickly after that exit, and it crosses
950-571: A three-quarter interchange with Eastern Avenue, which share southbound access ramps via Kane Street) in lieu of I-895. It interchanges with the Moravia Road freeway spur next to the Baltimore city line, where ramp stubs were once planned for an unbuilt portion of the Windlass Freeway, then connects with US 40 before narrowing to six lanes and merging with I-895 just after exiting Baltimore into northeastern Baltimore County. From 2009 to 2015, new gray gantries were installed that displayed signs in
1045-530: A true toll route as it passes through Susquehanna State Park before crossing the Susquehanna River on the Millard E. Tydings Memorial Bridge . The bridge crosses between bluffs high above the river valley, and is posted with warning signs: "Subject to Crosswinds". The highway now enters Cecil County . Just beyond the bridge is an all-electronic toll gantry at Perryville , where tolls are collected in

In 1969, a planning analysis of regional growth found development potential in the northeast brought about by the construction of I-95 . The county was planning a series of arterial roads traveling in a northeasterly direction from Baltimore County that would pass through the Campbell land. The County agreed to move
1235-569: Is also operated by the MDTA, at the Baltimore city line. Starting out eight lanes wide at the junction with I-895, after three miles (4.8 km), I-95 once again intersects with I-695 in Rosedale at what was a unique double-crossover interchange. Within this interchange, the carriageways of I-95 narrowed to six lanes and crossed over each other, thereby putting through traffic on the left within
1330-459: Is currently six lanes wide (a 3–3 configuration) between exits 77 and 85. Like Section 100, this segment will be widened into a 4–2–2–4 configuration as far as exit 80 ( MD 543 ). Between exits 80 and 85, the remainder will likely be widened from a 3–3 configuration to a 4–4 configuration. While the MDTA has not yet finalized plans for this segment, the MD ;24 interchange

The part of I-95 that was completed from downtown Washington, D.C., to the Springfield Interchange in Springfield, Virginia , was then redesignated as I-395 . Several proposals were made during the 1940s and 1950s for an East–West Expressway through Baltimore. After nine different proposals were floated,
2470-539: The Patuxent River just south of the T. Howard Duckett Dam , the route enters Howard County and promptly has an interchange with MD 216 . North of the MD 216 interchange, the route encounters its first rest area in the state of Maryland, with separate facilities for the northbound and southbound lanes. Continuing northeast, I-95 intersects MD 32 at a modified directional cloverleaf interchange . Within this interchange, I-95 grade-separates, with
2565-662: The Springfield Interchange in Virginia. While the College Park Interchange was completed, the Northeast Freeway was never built, resulting in highway lanes coming to an abrupt end on the south end of the interchange. After the project to complete I-95 through the District of Columbia was canceled, I-95 was rerouted onto the Capital Beltway in 1977. The portion of I-95 inside the beltway in Northern Virginia and

Just beyond I-295
2755-725: The central business district (CBD). The route would have met two other freeways—the Jones Falls Expressway and the Southwest Expressway—at a four-way interchange in the southeast edge of the CBD; I-95 would have followed the Southwest Expressway, and met both I-70N and I-83 (on the Jones Falls Expressway) at this interchange. I-70N and I-83 would have terminated at the interchange, while I-95 would have turned east and followed

Similar to what was done on the between the beltways segment, new lighting projects have replaced the original high-mast lights (which were also mercury vapor) with conventional streetlights at
3325-485: The District of Columbia was designated as I-395 . The eastern half of the Capital Beltway was renumbered from I-495 to I-95. In 1991, the I-495 designation was restored on the eastern half of the beltway, numbered concurrently with I-95 as part of an effort to provide more consistent numbering and directional indicators on the Capital Beltway. The College Park Interchange was modified in late 1986 to allow free movement along
3420-673: The East–West Expressway out of the CBD, along the Boston Street corridor and out toward east Baltimore, intersecting the Harbor Tunnel Thruway near today's exit 62. The Southwest Expressway would have cut through Federal Hill and crossed the Inner Harbor on a fixed bridge with 50 feet (15 m) of vertical navigational clearance. All these proposed routes would have required extensive right-of-way acquisition and clearance. The above routings were eventually further refined and modified and eventually became part of
3515-401: The Harbor Tunnel Thruway near to where it does today, then followed the existing I-95 alignment out of the city. The highway would have junctioned I-70N a mile (1.6 km) to the northwest of the Inner Harbor, near the eastern terminus of the now-defunct I-170 ; it would have met I-83 in the northeastern corner of the CBD. This routing was little different from the routings proposed in 1960 and
3610-593: The I-95 express toll lanes was part of the $ 1.1-billion (equivalent to $ 1.39 billion in 2023 ) I-95 Improvement Project, which included $ 756 million (equivalent to $ 958 million in 2023 ) in highway and safety improvements along eight miles (13 km) of I-95 from the I-895 interchange to just north of White Marsh Boulevard (MD 43) in northeast Baltimore. Originally, there were several changes in jurisdiction over maintenance of Baltimore's segment of I-95. North of
3705-609: The MD 152 and MD 155 interchanges, but new high-masts were installed from the Perryville toll plaza to MD 222. Additionally, there are now high-mast lights at the northern I-695 interchange in Rosedale to match its southern counterpart in Halethorpe (although the ones in Halethorpe were removed by 2018); those replaced the conventional streetlights that had existed within the area. I-95 has express toll lanes in

Turning northwest, the beltway enters Greenbelt Park , intersecting
3895-732: The MDTA issued its results for Section 100, the southernmost section. There may be the future consideration of replacing New York City with the much closer Philadelphia as the control city on I-95 north, north of Baltimore, as I-95 is fully completed between Philadelphia and New York City. Section 100 is an eight-mile (13 km) segment of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway that runs between exit 62 ( I-895 ) and milepost 70. This segment used to be just eight lanes wide (a 4–4 configuration) and carries approximately 165,000 vehicles per day (expected to increase to 225,000 vehicles per day by 2025). This segment has been expanded to 12 lanes (a 4–2–2–4 configuration), with

Beyond the US ;1 interchange, I-95 encounters its own route at the College Park Interchange and separates from I-495 within this interchange. I-495 continues west, alone, on the Capital Beltway to I-270 , while I-95 turns north onto its own planned alignment. The interchange includes access to
4085-496: The cancelation of I-95 inside of the Capital Beltway. The unnamed section between the Capital Beltway to north of Baltimore was completed in various stages between 1964 and 1985, while the northeastern section from Baltimore to the Delaware state line, known as the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway (named after the former US president, John F. Kennedy ), was the first section completed, opening to traffic in 1963. A rebuild of this section
4180-610: The center lanes designated as express toll lanes . In addition, the interchange between the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway and the Baltimore Beltway at exit 64 has been rebuilt into a more orthodox stack interchange , removing the left entrances and exits as well as the unique carriageway crossovers on I-95 (the carriageway crossovers on I-695 there remained, but those have since been removed as well). The interchange at exit 67 ( MD 43 ) has been significantly modified from its former cloverleaf configuration, and
4275-461: The city of Baltimore . Traveling northbound, the first interchange encountered is the College Park Interchange , exit 27. This was the intended site of the northern crossing of I-95 and I-495 and the northern end of the Northeast Freeway . South of here, I-95 was to enter D.C. on the Northeast Freeway, continue on the North Central Freeway and connect seamlessly to the portion of I-95 in downtown Washington that had been completed from there to
4370-546: The city's department of planning published a proposal of its own in 1960. The route in the proposal would have started out as I-70N (as it was known then) and run due east through vast city parkland before picking up the small piece of freeway that was constructed within the Franklin Street–Mulberry Street corridor, and then crossing the city to the north of the Inner Harbor on an elevated viaduct within
4465-402: The daytime outside of peak travel times, have lower rates, with the overnight hours having the lowest rates. Just as in Delaware, the northern segment of I-95 in Maryland has service areas in the median that serve both directions of traffic. This dates back to its days as a two-state toll highway. Between the Delaware line and the Baltimore city line, two service areas are available, owned by
4560-522: The direct (tunnel) routes through Baltimore (such as vehicles either carrying hazardous materials or exceeding the tunnel clearance heights) was encouraged to use the eastern half of I-695, which crossed the Patapsco River via the Francis Scott Key Bridge ; it is now detoured onto the western half of the beltway, with I-95 being available to all other through traffic. When this part of I-95 opened to traffic in 1971, all interchanges in
4655-428: The final opening of the tunnel on November 23, 1985, I-95 was finally completed within the city of Baltimore. Originally, the toll plaza at the north end of the Fort McHenry Tunnel was to be removed after the city of Baltimore repaid its share of the construction costs of the tunnel. However, the MDTA lobbied successfully to keep the toll plaza in place to prevent a traffic problem on I-95 within Baltimore. Despite

The interchange would have been a three-way freeway-to-freeway interchange, with a full complement of ramps provided for local access to and from Boston Street and O'Donnell Street, to and from both Interstates. Of the two planned Interstate terminuses, I-83's terminus was the first to be abandoned, with the connecting highway segment being cancelled in September 1982; I-70's terminus, later redesignated as
SECTION 50
#17327722864014940-427: The interchange at exit 62 was also reconfigured so that I-95 is now the straight-ahead route instead of I-895, thus eliminating the need for southbound I-95 traffic to weave to the right and cross over. The project cost $ 1.1 billion (equivalent to $ 1.39 billion in 2023 ). It began in 2006 and was completed in 2014. The remainder of the section between Exit 67 and milepost 70 is currently being widened to
5035-421: The interchange nexus, allowing left exit ramps and left entrance ramps to accommodate four of the eight movements in lieu of flyovers. Beyond the interchange, both sets of carriageways crossed over each other again and resumed right-hand running. As part of the upgrades to I-95 to accommodate express toll lanes in this area, this interchange was replaced with a more conventional four-level stack; all exits are now on
5130-533: The latter route offering access to Fort McHenry and an escape route for hazardous material traffic. I-95 encounters the Fort McHenry Tunnel south of Fort McHenry. The tunnel, containing eight lanes, curves underneath the Northwest Harbor and emerges in the Canton neighborhood of Baltimore, quickly encountering the all-electronic toll plaza and connector ramps that lead to and from Keith Avenue. After

I-95 also interchanges with MD 295 at the northern terminus of the Baltimore–Washington Parkway (and the southern terminus of Russell Street, with ramps to the transitioning roads and from the terminating ones) within the I-395 interchange, which is almost completely elevated over the middle branch of the Patapsco River . After interchanging with both routes, I-95 interchanges with MD 2 and Key Highway ,
5320-476: The mainline bridges built to grade-separate I-95 and the exit ramps to and from I-70, several ramp stubs, a few grassy abutments. An incomplete flyover bridge once existed as well, but was later demolished. Narrow shoulders through the interchange area show that I-95 narrowed to six lanes but was restriped to widen the highway. While this interchange was left incomplete, the existing exit 50, built with extensive collector–distributor lanes due to its proximity to

North of this unusual interchange, I-95 encounters MD 175 , the main access route into Columbia , at a less-radical directional cloverleaf interchange. After the MD 175 interchange comes
5700-459: The northbound direction only. There are no southbound tolls on the highway, but southbound truck traffic may need to stop at a nearby weigh station . At the northern end of the plaza is exit 93 for MD 222 in Perryville, before continuing through Cecil County toward the Delaware state line. (Until the 1980s, there were tolls at the southbound exits and northbound entrances, at the Perryville and North East interchanges.) Still paralleling

South of Baltimore , I-95 is maintained by the Maryland State Highway Administration ; north of the southern Baltimore city line, I-95 changes jurisdiction to the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA). Continuing on its northeasterly track, the route intersects US 1 Alternate (US 1 Alt.) just beyond the city line. I-95's interchange with US 1 Alt. incorporates stubs and unused embankments that would have been used for
5985-399: The planned eastern terminus of I-70 within Baltimore (later planned as the southern terminus of I-595, though the freeway was later canceled and that designation was moved to US 50 east of Washington ). Continuing past this unbuilt interchange, I-95 intersects Washington Boulevard, a local city street (with ramps to the southbound side and from the northbound side), before encountering
6080-473: The planned eastern terminus of I-70 , the planned southern terminus of I-83 , and the planned southern terminus of the Windlass Freeway . All three unbuilt interchanges incorporate interchanges with local roads. The first is located near exit 50 in Baltimore; it is the site of the planned eastern terminus of I-70 within the city. The only remnants of the interchange that remain in situ today are
6175-506: The planned town center east, to be developed on 1,500 acres (610 ha) of the Campbell land. The plan was for a town center in an area created by a triangle of arterial roads. A mall would be at the center. The density of residential and business development would decline as it moved away from the mall. A residential sector was designated to the north, between Silver Spring Road and the planned White Marsh Boulevard. It would include all residential densities except high-rise. The area east of

South of Susquehanna State Park , I-95 encounters the southern end of the remaining tolled portion of the highway at the MD 155 interchange, providing access to Havre de Grace and US 40 . (Until the 1980s, there were tolls to enter I-95 southbound and exit it northbound in Harford County.) North of this interchange, I-95 becomes
6555-435: The route has interchanges with MD 152 north of Joppatowne , then with MD 24 , providing access to Bel Air and Edgewood . Within the MD 24 interchange, I-95 narrows to six lanes and remains this wide to the Delaware border. Just beyond the MD 543 interchange, I-95's carriageways split apart to provide space for the Maryland House service area accessible from both directions. Beyond Maryland House,
6650-501: The route's inclusion in the Interstate Highway System in the mid-1950s, the construction of the Baltimore and Capital beltways had diverted most of the state funds that would have been used to build it. To relieve traffic on US 40 , it was decided to finance construction using a bond issue. The Maryland State Roads Commission, the predecessor to the MDTA , floated $ 73 million (equivalent to $ 563 million in 2023 ) in revenue bonds to provide funds to start construction of
6745-406: The route, which began in January 1962. Completed in 1963, the 48-mile (77 km) Northeast Expressway and the adjoining 11-mile (18 km) Delaware Turnpike were dedicated by President John F.

This rest area also features only restrooms, a tourist information area, and vending machines, in contrast to the full food and fuel options at the two service areas farther north. Under the original plans for I-95 in Maryland, the route would not have followed the eastern half of the Capital Beltway from the Woodrow Wilson Bridge to
7030-436: The site of the ramps to and from the unbuilt freeway. Due to the heavy use of this route by commuters and through traffic, the MDTA has begun the process of significantly expanding the highway to increase its capacity. The expansion plans are divided into short, individual sections; in 2001, the MDTA began public studies to determine the best way to expand the highway to meet current and future needs. After four years of study,
7125-413: The southern I-695 interchange) and the northern Baltimore city line, the route is maintained entirely by the MDTA. Maryland state highway police force and the authority's own police force share police duties on this segment. Additionally, the city of Baltimore pays the MDTA to maintain I-95 within the city limits. I-95 has at least four incomplete interchanges along its route, with three located within
7220-538: The state, the most of any state along the I-95 corridor. Portions of the highway, including the Fort McHenry Tunnel and the Millard E. Tydings Memorial Bridge , are tolled . From the Woodrow Wilson Bridge to the community of College Park , it follows a portion of the Capital Beltway , completed in 1964 and numbered as I-95 in 1977. Prior to 1977, the route was intended to go on a new highway through Washington, D.C.; however, public opposition caused
7315-486: The stretch had high-mast lighting (with mercury vapor lights ), but, beginning in 2010, these were replaced with lower-mounted conventional streetlights. However, the MD 200 and southern I-895 interchanges (which opened in 1973 as part of an extension from its original terminus at US 1) now have high-mast lights (with high-pressure sodium lights, same as those within Baltimore), and new LED high-masts replaced
7410-561: The then-unnumbered Harbor Tunnel Thruway, a partial interchange was constructed for I-95 to continue south into Baltimore. However, this meant that I-95 had to enter from and exit to the right, as evidenced by a southbound flyover ramp; a construction project corrected the problem in 2009 so that I-95 would proceed straight through the interchange. Express toll lanes were built from the I-895 merge in northern Baltimore to just north of MD 43. The lanes opened Saturday, December 6, 2014, after more than eight years of construction. Construction of
7505-485: The toll plaza, I-95 encounters the Boston Street / O'Donnell Street interchange, which also incorporates stubs and other unused infrastructure planned to be used for the southern terminus of I-83 ; I-95 also passes over I-895 within the interchange area, with no access between the two routes, then runs into east Baltimore, providing local access to various city streets (a northbound-only exit to Dundalk Avenue and
7600-815: The town center to I-95 would be for office and research facilities. The Campbell land east of I-95 was slated for future industrial development. Rezoning of the area was completed in 1970 and 1971. In 1979 the area was formally designated as a town center in the Baltimore County Master Plan. From 1972 to 1981, the planning and development of the White Marsh Mall occurred, with the Rouse Company as owner and developer on land rented from Nottingham.

7695-408: The transition from the I-95 corridor and the Capital Beltway without requiring the use of exit ramps. Today, all parts of the interchange are in regular use. The southern end of the interchange now serves as a park and ride commuter lot. The other three interchanges are located in the city of Baltimore, a sign of the many successful freeway revolts that accompanied the construction of the 3-A System:
7790-422: The two routes interchange with Maryland Route 210 (MD 210), a major north–south route into southern D.C. The two Interstates continue along the Capital Beltway and have interchanges with various local highways such as MD 5 (Branch Avenue) and MD 4 ( Pennsylvania Avenue ) on either side of Andrews Air Force Base , which the beltway travels very close to near its northern edge. Turning north past
7885-496: The unbuilt interchange, stands as a more visible sign of what was planned. Today, exit 50 connects US 1 Alt. to I-95. The second is located near exit 57, just to the north of the Fort McHenry Tunnel , and is the site of the planned southern terminus of I-83. Like I-70's terminus, the remnants here consist mainly of ramp stubs and unused bridges. This interchange, like exit 50, also serves Boston Street and O'Donnell Street , and also narrowed to six lanes within

8645-461: Was improved, with the interchange improvement project completed in 2009. The segment between mileposts 70 and 79 is currently being widened to a 4-2-4 configuration, which will extend the current northbound express lanes to just south of MD 543. The MD 152 and MD 24 interchanges will be reconstructed along with multiple overpasses and underpasses. The reconstruction of the MD 152 interchange had demolished
8740-671: Was planned to cross the Patapsco River on a 180-foot-high (55 m) bridge, but opposition to this crossing brought forth the Fort McHenry Tunnel, which made up the last part of I-95 to be completed within the city limits. I-70N would have run through Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park to terminate at I-95 near US 1 Alt. (with the I-170 spur serving the areas to the immediate west of the CBD, where it would terminate), while I-83
8835-439: Was removed in 1991, but tolls are still collected for northbound traffic over the Millard E. Tydings Memorial Bridge at this location. Additionally, ramp tolls were collected at many of the interchanges until they were abolished by an act of the legislature in 1981. The highway and bridge are maintained by the MDTA. Exits on the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway were originally numbered consecutively , beginning with exit 1. As
8930-536: Was shifted to a new alignment and planned to terminate at I-95 north of the Patapsco River . I-395 was also brought into existence under this plan; it was planned as a freeway spur from I-95 to the south edge of the CBD, connecting to a new route named City Boulevard (now known as Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard ). The 3-A System's result was that I-95 would act as a bypass of the CBD, with I-395 providing direct access. The first portion of I-95 in Baltimore
9025-528: Was the southern 0.6 miles (0.97 km) of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway, completed in 1963.
