Purpose & Need |
In May 2005, the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) started construction of the Express Toll Lanes (ETLs) on the most congested portion of I-95 north of Baltimore City. This 8-mile segment stretches from the I-895 (N) split in east Baltimore City, to north of MD 43 in White Marsh,
Known during planning studies (2003 - 2005) as “JFK-Section 100,” the I-95 Express Toll Lanes Project will ease congestion and increase safety by making improvements to I-95, reconstructing bridges and interchanges, and adding ETLs.
View how the interchanges looked before and upon completion.

When completed in 2014, there will be two ETLs and four general-purpose lanes in each direction. Drivers traveling from north of MD 43 through to I-895 will have the choice of using the general-purpose lanes at no cost or paying a toll to use the ETLs. The tolls will be managed to maintain relatively congestion-free traffic flow. The toll for using the ETLs will vary depending on the time of day and amount of traffic on the road.
