Interstate 95 (I-95) is a very long highway that runs along the East Coast of the United States. It stretches from Miami, Florida, all the way north to the border with Canada in Houlton, Maine. In Maryland, I-95 is a major road that goes about 110 miles (177 km) diagonally from the southwest to the northeast.

It enters Maryland from Washington, D.C. and Virginia over the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. Then it continues northeast to Maryland's border with Delaware near Elkton. I-95 is the longest Interstate highway in Maryland. It's also one of the busiest, especially between Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Even though there are other roads like the Baltimore–Washington Parkway, many people still use I-95.

Maryland has eight "auxiliary routes" for I-95. These are like smaller highways that connect to the main I-95. That's more than any other state along the I-95 route! Some parts of the highway, like the Fort McHenry Tunnel and the Millard E. Tydings Memorial Bridge, are toll roads. This means you have to pay to drive on them.

From the Woodrow Wilson Bridge to College Park, I-95 follows part of the Capital Beltway. This section was finished in 1964 and became I-95 in 1977. Before 1977, I-95 was planned to go through Washington, D.C. But people didn't want a new highway there, so that plan was canceled. The section between the Capital Beltway and north of Baltimore was built in different steps from 1964 to 1985. The part from Baltimore to the Delaware state line, called the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway, was the first to open in 1963. Since 2006, this section has been getting upgrades. By 2022, new express toll lanes were added north of Baltimore. More widening of the road is planned up to the Delaware state line.

Traveling I-95 in Maryland

Starting on the Capital Beltway

The I-95/I-495 split in College Park

I-95 enters Maryland while sharing the road with I-495, which is known as the Capital Beltway. These roads come from Alexandria, Virginia, and cross the Potomac River on the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. This bridge has five lanes in each direction. It briefly crosses a small part of Washington, D.C., over the water. Then it lands in Prince George's County.

Right away, I-95/I-495 meets the start of I-295. This road, called the Anacostia Freeway, goes into downtown Washington, D.C.. Soon after, the two Interstates connect with Maryland Route 210 (MD 210).

The two Interstates continue on the Capital Beltway. They have exits for local roads like MD 5 and MD 4. These roads are on either side of Andrews Air Force Base. The beltway runs very close to the base.

Turning north, the beltway goes through Glenarden. Here, it connects with MD 202, US 50, and MD 450. MD 450 can take you to the New Carrollton station. This station serves the Washington Metro and MARC Train.

Next, the beltway turns northwest and enters Greenbelt Park. It meets the Baltimore–Washington Parkway (MD 295) here. After that, it connects with MD 201. This road leads to the start of the Baltimore–Washington Parkway.

Now heading west, the beltway goes through the northern part of College Park. It has exits for the Greenbelt station and US 1.

After the US 1 exit, I-95 separates from I-495 at the College Park Interchange. I-495 continues west on the Capital Beltway. I-95 turns north onto its own path. This exit is marked as exit 27 on both Interstates. It also has access to a park and ride lot and a weigh station.

From Beltsville to Baltimore

View north along I-95 past MD 216 in Howard County

Heading northeast, I-95 is still eight lanes wide. It goes through Beltsville, connecting with MD 212. This part of the highway was finished in 1971. It goes through undeveloped land to the Intercounty Connector toll road (MD 200). It also connects with Konterra Drive (MD 206). Then it meets MD 198 near Laurel.

I-95 crosses the Patuxent River and enters Howard County. Here, it connects with MD 216. North of this exit, you'll find the first rest area in Maryland for I-95. There are separate rest areas for northbound and southbound traffic.

Continuing northeast, I-95 meets MD 32. This is a special kind of interchange. Northbound I-95 goes over MD 32, and southbound I-95 goes under MD 32. This design helps traffic flow smoothly.

Traffic congestion on I-95 southbound in Baltimore

After this, I-95 connects with MD 175. This is the main road to Columbia. Then comes the MD 100 interchange. This exit gives access to Ellicott City, US 29, and I-70 to the west. To the east, it connects to the Baltimore–Washington Parkway (MD 295) and I-97.

Just past this, I-95 meets three more of its auxiliary routes in Maryland:

• I-895: This road splits from I-95 near Patapsco Valley State Park and the Patapsco River.
• I-195 and MD 166: These roads are near Catonsville. I-195 is a short road that leads to Baltimore/Washington International Airport.
• I-695: This is near Halethorpe. It's the Baltimore Beltway, a highway that goes all the way around Baltimore. It connects to I-70, I-83, and I-97.

Before the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in March 2024, large trucks or vehicles carrying dangerous materials that couldn't use the tunnels through Baltimore would use the eastern half of I-695. This part crossed the Patapsco River on the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Now, these vehicles are sent to the western half of I-695. Other traffic can still use I-95 through the city.

When this part of I-95 opened in 1971, the exits had tall lights. Starting in 2010, these were replaced with shorter, regular streetlights. However, some newer sections and interchanges still have tall lights.

Driving Through Baltimore City

I-95 northbound at Key Highway in Baltimore

I-95 northbound through the Fort McHenry Tunnel in Baltimore

South of Baltimore, I-95 is managed by the Maryland State Highway Administration. But once it crosses into Baltimore city, the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) takes over.

I-95 continues northeast. It connects with US 1 Alternate. This exit has parts that were meant for a planned I-70 highway that was never built in Baltimore. I-95 then connects with Washington Boulevard, a local street. After that, it meets I-395, which is the main road into downtown Baltimore.

I-95 also connects with MD 295 (Baltimore–Washington Parkway) within the I-395 interchange. This interchange is mostly built high above the middle branch of the Patapsco River. After these connections, I-95 meets MD 2 and Key Highway. Key Highway leads to Fort McHenry. It's also a way for hazardous material trucks to get around the tunnels.

I-95 then goes into the Fort McHenry Tunnel. This tunnel has eight lanes and goes under the Northwest Harbor. It comes out in the Canton neighborhood. Here, you'll find the all-electronic toll plaza. This means you don't stop to pay; cameras read your E-ZPass or license plate.

After the toll plaza, I-95 connects with Boston Street/O'Donnell Street. This area also has parts of an interchange that was planned for I-83, but that road was never built here. I-95 also passes over I-895 here, but there's no direct connection between them. I-95 then goes into east Baltimore, connecting to local streets. It also connects with the Moravia Road freeway spur and US 40. After US 40, I-95 narrows to six lanes and merges with I-895 as it leaves Baltimore city.

From 2009 to 2015, new gray signs were put up along I-95 in Baltimore. These signs use a different font called Clearview. In 2017, the tall brown light poles were replaced with new gray ones.

The John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway

I-95 northbound at entrance to express toll lanes in Baltimore

The John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway part of I-95 is a toll road run by the MDTA. It starts where the Harbor Tunnel Thruway (I-895) ends, at the Baltimore city line. It begins with eight lanes.

After about 3 miles (4.8 km), I-95 meets I-695 again in Rosedale. This interchange used to be very unique, with the lanes crossing over each other. But as part of upgrades for the express toll lanes, it was rebuilt into a more common four-level interchange. Now, all exits are on the right side. Southbound vehicles that can't use the tunnels (like hazardous material trucks) are sent onto the western half of I-695. This is because the eastern half was damaged by the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse.

Continuing northeast, I-95 runs next to the Chesapeake Bay. It connects with MD 43 near White Marsh. After going through Gunpowder Falls State Park and into Harford County, it connects with MD 152 north of Joppatowne. Then it meets MD 24, which leads to Bel Air and Edgewood. At the MD 24 interchange, I-95 narrows to six lanes and stays that width to the Delaware border.

I-95 crossing the Susquehanna River via the Millard E. Tydings Memorial Bridge

Just past the MD 543 exit, the I-95 lanes spread apart. This creates space for the Maryland House service area. You can access this rest stop from both directions of the highway. After Maryland House, I-95 meets the MD 22 exit in Aberdeen. This exit leads to Aberdeen Proving Ground.

South of Susquehanna State Park, I-95 reaches the start of the remaining toll section. This is at the MD 155 interchange, which leads to Havre de Grace and US 40. (Before the 1980s, you had to pay tolls to get on or off I-95 in Harford County.)

North of this exit, I-95 becomes a full toll road. It goes through Susquehanna State Park. Then it crosses the Susquehanna River on the Millard E. Tydings Memorial Bridge. This bridge is very high above the river valley. Signs warn drivers about "Crosswinds." The highway then enters Cecil County. Just after the bridge, there's an all-electronic toll booth in Perryville. You only pay if you're going northbound here. Southbound trucks might need to stop at a nearby weigh station.

At the north end of the toll area is exit 93 for MD 222 in Perryville. I-95 then continues through Cecil County toward the Delaware state line. (Before the 1980s, there were tolls at southbound exits and northbound entrances at the Perryville and North East exits.)

I-95 southbound past the MD 279 interchange near Elkton

Still running along the northern shore of the Chesapeake Bay, I-95's lanes split apart again. This is for another service area called Chesapeake House. You can also reach this one from both directions. After passing the northern tip of the bay, north of Elk Neck State Park, I-95 meets MD 272. This road leads to the towns of North East and Rising Sun. Some people find the "North East Rising Sun" exit sign funny, thinking it's one place!

I-95 then turns east and heads straight for the Delaware state line. It passes under MD 213 north of Elkton, but there's no exit here. Finally, it reaches exit 109 for MD 279. This road goes directly into Elkton and Newark, Delaware. I-95's journey through Maryland ends quickly after this exit. It crosses into Delaware and becomes the Delaware Turnpike. Soon after, it reaches the Newark toll plaza in Delaware.

Like the section between the beltways, new lighting projects have replaced the old tall lights at some interchanges with regular streetlights. However, new tall lights were put in from the Perryville toll plaza to MD 222. Also, the northern I-695 interchange in Rosedale now has tall lights.

What are Express Toll Lanes?

Sign listing rates for the express toll lanes along I-95 northbound in Baltimore

I-95 has special express toll lanes in the middle of the highway. These lanes run from the I-895 merge in northern Baltimore to just north of MD 43 in White Marsh. There are two express toll lanes in each direction.

You can get into and out of these lanes from I-95 at both ends. There are also exits and entrances for I-895 and MD 43. These lanes use all-electronic tolling. This means tolls are collected using E-ZPass or video tolling. With video tolling, cameras read your license plate and send a bill to your home. If you use video tolling, you pay an extra 50% on top of the regular toll.

The cost of tolls on the express lanes changes depending on the time of day and the day of the week. During busy times, like weekday mornings (southbound) and weekday evenings (northbound), and weekend afternoons, the tolls are highest. During less busy times, the tolls are lower. The lowest tolls are during the overnight hours.

Places to Stop Along I-95

Maryland House service area along I-95 in Harford County

Just like in Delaware, the northern part of I-95 in Maryland has service areas in the middle of the highway. These serve traffic going in both directions. This design comes from when it was a toll highway shared by two states.

Between the Delaware line and the Baltimore city line, there are two service areas. The MDTA owns them, and Areas USA runs them. Both service areas have parking for buses, free Wi-Fi, restrooms, a Kids Korner seating area, outdoor seating, many fast-food restaurants, stores, and Sunoco gas stations.

Maryland House

Maryland House opened in 1963. It's located at milepost 81.9 in Harford County. It was updated in 1987, and more parts were added in 1989–1990. It closed on September 15, 2012, to be rebuilt. It reopened on January 16, 2014.

Chesapeake House

Chesapeake House opened in 1975. It's at milepost 97 in Cecil County. It closed in January 2014 after Maryland House reopened. It was rebuilt and opened again on August 5, 2014.

Howard County Rest Area

There's also a rest area in Howard County, between Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Unlike the two service areas farther north, this rest area is on the sides of the highway. This means there are separate facilities for each direction of travel. This rest area only has restrooms, a tourist information area, and vending machines. It doesn't have food or gas like the other two service areas.

History of I-95 in Maryland

Northeast Freeway Plans

An older version of the I-95 shield as used in Maryland

Originally, I-95 in Maryland was not supposed to follow the eastern part of the Capital Beltway. Instead, it was planned to leave D.C. at New Hampshire Avenue. It would have followed a road called the Northeast Freeway. This freeway would have connected to I-495 at the College Park Interchange.

However, this plan was canceled in 1977. This happened after the D.C. government canceled another planned highway, the North Central Freeway. That road would have taken I-95 deeper into D.C. The part of I-95 that was built in downtown Washington, D.C., was then renamed I-395.

I-95 in Baltimore City

How I-95 in Baltimore was Planned

Many ideas for a highway through Baltimore were discussed in the 1940s and 1950s. In 1960, the city's planning department suggested a route. This route would have gone through city parks and then crossed the city north of the Inner Harbor. It would have met other highways in the city center.

These plans were changed and became part of the Baltimore 10-D Interstate System in 1962. In this plan, I-95 would have gone along the southern edge of the city center. It would have cut through historic neighborhoods like Fell's Point. It would have crossed the Inner Harbor on a low bridge. This plan was not popular.

I-95 at I-395 in Baltimore

By 1969, a new plan called the Baltimore 3-A Interstate and Boulevard System was created. In this plan, I-95 was moved south to the Locust Point area, where it was eventually built. I-95 was first planned to cross the Patapsco River on a very high bridge. But people didn't want this, so the Fort McHenry Tunnel was built instead. This tunnel was the last part of I-95 to be finished in Baltimore.

Under this plan, I-95 would go around the city center. I-395 was created as a short highway to give direct access to downtown.

Building I-95 in Baltimore

The first part of I-95 in Baltimore was a small section of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway, finished in 1963. By 1971, I-95 reached Baltimore city. It was completed between the Capital Beltway and Baltimore Beltway. But it stopped at US 1 Alt..

By 1974, I-95 was being built in East Baltimore. By 1981, I-95 was finished up to I-395. By 1984, the Fort McHenry Tunnel was almost done. I-95 was open up to MD 2 on the west side of the Patapsco River and Boston Street/O'Donnell Street on the east side. The tunnel finally opened on November 23, 1985. This completed I-95 within Baltimore city.

Tolls in Baltimore

I-95 northbound past the MD 222 interchange in Perryville

The toll plaza at the north end of the Fort McHenry Tunnel was supposed to be removed after Baltimore paid for its part of the tunnel's construction. However, the MDTA successfully argued to keep the toll plaza. They said it would help prevent traffic problems on I-95 in Baltimore.

History of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway

Even though I-95 was part of the Interstate Highway System in the mid-1950s, most state money was used to build the Baltimore and Capital beltways. To help with traffic on US 40, it was decided to pay for I-95 using special bonds. The Maryland State Roads Commission (now the MDTA) raised $73 million in 1962 to start building the road.

The Northeast Expressway (48 miles or 77 km) and the nearby Delaware Turnpike (11 miles or 18 km) were finished in 1963. President John F. Kennedy, Delaware Governor Elbert N. Carvel, and Maryland Governor J. Millard Tawes officially opened them on November 14, 1963. Eight days later, President Kennedy was assassinated. So, both roads were renamed the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway in his honor in December 1963.

I-95 northbound at the MD 43 exit in White Marsh

From 1963 to 1993, the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway was a toll road for its entire length in both directions. The main toll plaza is just north of the Millard E. Tydings Memorial Bridge in Perryville. The southbound toll plaza was removed in 1991. But tolls are still collected for northbound traffic over the Millard E. Tydings Memorial Bridge. Also, tolls were collected at many exit ramps until 1981. The MDTA maintains the highway and bridge.

The exits on the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway were first numbered in order, starting with exit 1. This meant I-95 in Maryland had different sets of exit numbers. In the mid-1980s, the exits were renumbered based on how many miles they were from the start of the highway. So now they range from exit 2 (I-295 north) on the Capital Beltway to exit 109 (MD 279) on the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway.

A special connection was built to link the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway with the Harbor Tunnel Thruway. This meant I-95 had to curve to the right to enter and exit. A project in 2009 fixed this, so I-95 now goes straight through the interchange.

Express toll lanes were built from the I-895 merge in northern Baltimore to just north of MD 43. These lanes opened on December 6, 2014, after more than eight years of construction. Building these lanes was part of a $1.1 billion project to improve I-95. This project also included safety improvements along 8 miles (13 km) of I-95 in northeast Baltimore.

Who Maintains I-95?

I-95 southbound between I-695 and I-895 in Rosedale, northeast of Baltimore

Originally, different parts of I-95 in Baltimore were maintained by different groups. The city of Baltimore maintained the route north of the city line up to exit 55 (Key Highway). The MDTA maintained the part that goes through the Fort McHenry Tunnel. And the city of Baltimore maintained the route again between exit 57 and the city line.

Now, the MDTA maintains the entire route between the southern Baltimore city line (near exit 49, the southern I-695 interchange) and the northern Baltimore city line. The Maryland state highway police and the MDTA's own police share law enforcement duties on this section. The city of Baltimore also pays the MDTA to maintain I-95 within the city limits.

Unfinished Exits

I-95 has at least four unfinished exits along its route. Three of these are in Baltimore city. These unfinished exits are a sign of "freeway revolts." These were times when people successfully protested against building more highways through their communities.

The first unfinished exit is the College Park Interchange, exit 27. This was where I-95 was supposed to connect with I-495 and the Northeast Freeway. I-95 was planned to go into D.C. on the Northeast Freeway. But the Northeast Freeway was never built. So, the highway lanes just ended abruptly. In 1977, I-95 was rerouted onto the Capital Beltway. In 1991, the I-495 name was put back on the eastern half of the beltway, along with I-95. The College Park Interchange was changed in 1986 to allow traffic to flow smoothly between I-95 and the Capital Beltway. Today, all parts of this interchange are used regularly. The southern end of the interchange is now a park and ride lot for commuters.

The other three unfinished exits are in Baltimore city. They were planned for the end of I-70, the end of I-83, and the start of the Windlass Freeway. All three include connections with local roads.

• The first is near exit 50. This was where I-70 was supposed to end. All that's left are some bridges, ramp stubs, and grassy areas. An unfinished bridge was even torn down later. The narrow shoulders show that I-95 was supposed to narrow here. While this interchange was never finished, the existing exit 50, which connects US 1 Alt. to I-95, shows what was planned.

• The second is near exit 57, just north of the Fort McHenry Tunnel. This was where I-83 was planned to end. Like the I-70 spot, there are only ramp stubs and unused bridges. This interchange also serves Boston Street and O'Donnell Street. It used to narrow to six lanes here until 2018. The I-83 plan was canceled in 1982, and the I-70 plan was canceled in 1983.

• The third is at exit 60. This was where the Windlass Freeway was supposed to start. This freeway was meant to be a relief road for US 40. Part of it was built and is now part of I-695. The interchange at this spot is partly used, connecting to the Moravia Road freeway spur. Like the other two city locations, ramp stubs show where the ramps for the unbuilt freeway would have been.

Major Events on I-95

• On January 13, 2004, a tanker truck carrying a flammable liquid crashed off a ramp to I-95. It caused a huge explosion, damaging several vehicles and killing four people. However, the highway itself was not damaged and reopened the next morning.
• On October 16, 2004, a sudden hailstorm north of Baltimore caused 33 accidents involving at least 130 vehicles on an 11-mile (18 km) stretch of I-95. Both northbound and southbound lanes were closed.
• On January 16, 2007, a tired truck driver lost control of his tanker truck. It overturned on the northbound side near Maryland House. The road was closed because the tank, carrying a corrosive liquid, was leaking.
• On October 4, 2008, a tanker carrying acetone overturned on the southbound lanes south of exit 85. This closed both northbound and southbound lanes for over eight hours. The tanker leaked flammable liquids.

Highway Improvements

Because I-95 is used so much by commuters and long-distance travelers, the MDTA has started to make the highway bigger. The expansion plans are divided into smaller sections. In 2001, the MDTA began studying how to best expand the highway. After four years, they shared their plans for Section 100, the southernmost part.

There might be a future plan to change the signs on I-95 north of Baltimore. Instead of saying "New York City," they might say "Philadelphia." This is because Philadelphia is much closer, and I-95 is now fully completed between Philadelphia and New York City.

Section 100 Improvements

Construction of the eastern interchange of I-95 and I-695

Section 100 is an 8-mile (13 km) part of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway. It runs between exit 62 (I-895) and milepost 70. This section used to have eight lanes and carried about 165,000 vehicles per day. This number is expected to grow to 225,000 vehicles per day by 2025.

This section has been expanded to 12 lanes. The middle lanes are now express toll lanes. Also, the interchange between the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway and the Baltimore Beltway at exit 64 has been rebuilt. It's now a more standard stack interchange, which means no more left exits or the unique lane crossovers. The interchange at exit 67 (MD 43) was also changed. And the interchange at exit 62 was reconfigured so that I-95 is now the straight-ahead route, not I-895.

This project cost $1.1 billion. It started in 2006 and was finished in 2014.

The rest of the section between Exit 67 and milepost 70 is being widened. This will extend the northbound express lanes to milepost 77.

Section 200 Improvements

Section 200 is a 15-mile (24 km) part of I-95. It goes from milepost 70 to exit 85 (MD 22). This section currently has eight lanes up to exit 77 (MD 24) and six lanes between exits 77 and 85. Like Section 100, this part will be widened to a 12-lane setup up to exit 80 (MD 543). Between exits 80 and 85, it will likely be widened from six to eight lanes. The MDTA hasn't finalized all plans for this section yet. However, the MD 24 interchange was improved, and that project finished in 2009.

Part of the section between mileposts 70 and 79 is being widened. This will extend the northbound express lanes to just south of MD 543. The MD 152 and MD 24 interchanges will be rebuilt, along with many overpasses and underpasses. The park-and-ride lot at MD 152 will be moved to a new spot.

Section 300 Improvements

Section 300 is a 3-mile (4.8 km) part of I-95 from exit 77 to exit 80. Plans for its widening are mentioned above.

Section 400 Improvements

Section 400 is the longest part, at 30 miles (48 km). It goes from exit 80 to the Delaware border. This section has six lanes and will likely be widened to eight lanes. This part will need a major rebuilding of the Millard E. Tydings Memorial Bridge.

Between the Beltways Improvements

A study is looking into adding a new lane on each side of I-95 between I-495 and I-695. This would involve building new inner shoulders. The current inner shoulders would then become high-occupancy vehicle lanes. These lanes would be open to vehicles with three or more people, hybrid cars, electric cars, and official government vehicles.

Proposed Toll Plaza Move

The MDTA studied moving the northbound toll barrier. It's currently just north of the Millard E. Tydings Memorial Bridge in Perryville. The study concluded that the toll barrier should stay where it is. This is because moving it would cause too much traffic to go onto local roads in Cecil County. It would also mean less money for the MDTA.
