I-95 Mainline Construction —
Rossville Boulevard to Campbell Boulevard
As part of the Maryland Transportation Authority’s I-95 Express Toll LanesSM (ETLsSM) Project, the I-95 roadway (mainline) is being widened to six lanes in each direction between Rossville and Campbell Boulevards. When construction of this section is complete, the roadway will consist of four general-purpose (non-tolled) lanes and two ETLs in each direction. The general purpose lanes are open to traffic; the ETLs will open to traffic in 2014.

About Construction
The construction area extended approximately two miles along I-95, joined ongoing construction at the I-695 interchange and future construction at the MD 43 interchange. Construction began in August 2007 and was completed in summer 2010. Construction activities include:
- Excavation and Embankment.
- New Full-Depth Pavement Installation.
- Pavement Milling and Resurfacing.
- Reconstruction of the Median.
- Storm Drain Improvements.
- Replacement of Existing Drainage Facilities.
- New Stormwater Management Facilities.
- New Retaining Wall Structures.
- New Sound Barrier Structures.
- Utility Relocation.
- New Signage, Pavement Marking and Intelligent Transportation System Improvements.
- Landscaping.
As part of this project, new emergency turn-around ramps were built on the east and west sides of I-95 near the King Avenue overpass. These ramps, working in concert with emergency crossovers located between the general-purpose lanes and the ETLs north and south of King Avenue, will provide access for emergency responders.
