The I-95/I-695 interchange, located in Baltimore County, will be totally reconstructed in multiple phases. The project area extends along I-95 from the Kenwood Avenue overpass to south of the Rossville Boulevard overpass, and along I-695 from west of the Lillian Holt Drive overpass to the I-695/Philadelphia Road (MD Route 7) interchange.

The new interchange is necessary in order to realign the existing travel (general-purpose) lanes and to add the new Express Toll Lanes^SM (ETLs^SM) along I-95. During the first phase of construction, a new, reconfigured four-level interchange for general-purpose roadways and ramps was constructed. All new ramps have been completed and opened to traffic. Also, the Kenwood Avenue and Lillian Holt Drive replacement overpass bridges have been completed.

The next phase of construction will start by fall 2011 and include the construction of two ETLs mainline bridges that will carry northbound and southbound ETLs traffic through the I-695 interchange.
