This mileage sign provides the distance to Wilmington, Delaware; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and New York City, New York, along northbound Interstate 95/John F. Kennedy Highway after the Interstate 695 interchange. No Maryland cities, destinations, or towns are listed on the mileage sign. Photo taken 10/14/01.
The next exit along southbound Interstate 95 is Exits 67A-B, Junction Maryland 43/White Marsh Boulevard east to a junction with U.S. 40 near White Marsh and west to U.S. 1 and Interstate 695 west near Parkville. Photo taken 04/30/04.
Use Maryland 43 west to U.S. 1 to reach the town center of White Marsh. Photo taken 04/30/04.
Between Interstate 695 and U.S. 40, Maryland 43/White Marsh Boulevard is a California-style expressway, with a full interchange at its junction with U.S. 1 and five traffic lights overall. The interchange between Interstate 95 and Maryland 43/White Marsh Boulevard is a cloverleaf. Photo taken 04/30/04.
Northbound Interstate 95/John F. Kennedy Highway at Exit 67A, Junction Maryland 43/White Marsh Boulevard east to U.S. 40 and White Marsh. Photo taken 04/30/04.
The second ramp of this cloverleaf interchange is for Exit 67B, Maryland 43 west to U.S. 1 and Interstate 695. Photo taken 04/30/04.
The next mileage sign provides the distance to the next three state route interchanges: Exit 74, Junction Maryland 152; Exits 77A-B, Junction Maryland 24; and Exit 80, Junction Maryland 543. Photo taken 04/30/04.
The next exit along northbound is Exit 74, Junction Maryland 152 north to Mountain, Pleasant Hill, Fallston, and Upper Crossroads. Maryland 152 also meets U.S. 40 to the southeast near Joppatowne. Photo taken 04/30/04.
To reach Joppatowne, use Maryland 152 southeast to U.S. 40, then follow U.S. 40 west into Joppatowne. As for north Maryland 152, after passing through Fallston, Maryland 152 reaches its northern terminus at the intersection with Maryland 146 near the Ladew Topiary Gardens just south of Madonna. Photo taken 04/30/04.
Northbound Interstate 95/John F. Kennedy Highway at Exit 74, Junction Maryland 152 south to Joppatowne and north to Fallston. Photo taken 04/30/04.
The next exit along northbound is Exits 77B-A, Junction Maryland 24 north to Bel Air and south to Edgewood and Van Bibber. Maryland 24 has evolved into part of a commuting route between Baltimore and Bel Air. Photo taken 04/30/04.
Maryland 24 is a divided highway between Edgewood and Bel Air, and the old alignment is designated in sections as Maryland 924. It is fairly well-developed, with a variety of development along the primary corridor from Interstate 95 to Bel Air. North of Bel Air, Maryland 24 passes through Rocks State Park, then heads north all the way to the Pennsylvania State Line, where it connects with east-west Pennsylvania 851 one mile east of north-south Pennsylvania 425 at Fawn Grove. Photo taken 04/30/04.
The interchange between Interstate 95/John F. Kennedy Highway and Maryland 24 (Exits 77B-A) is a cloverleaf; unlike southbound, there is no barrier that separates through traffic from exiting traffic (collector/distributor lanes). Photo taken 04/30/04.
A single white lane separates the northbound through traffic from traffic exiting onto busy Maryland 24 north. Photo taken 04/30/04.
View of the nation's busiest commuter corridor after the Maryland 24 interchange. Interstate 95 drops one through lane in each direction here. The John F. Kennedy Highway now only carries three lanes each way, but it keeps this configuration from here all the way to Delaware. Photo taken 04/30/04.
This mileage sign provides the distance to the next exit (Exit 80, Junction Maryland 543) as well as the control cities of Philadelphia and New York City. The reason why Interstate 95 control city is New York City and not Philadelphia may be a result of traffic that takes Interstate 95 north to Interstate 295 in Delaware, then heads north toward the city via the New Jersey Turnpike. Photo taken 04/30/04.
Exit 80, Junction Maryland 543, is the next exit on northbound Interstate 95/John F. Kennedy Highway. Use Maryland 543 north to Fountain Green, Hickory, and ultimately Pylesville (at Junction Maryland 165). Heading south, Maryland 543 interchanges with U.S. 40 near Belcamp. Photo taken 04/30/04.
Use Maryland 543 to reach Maryland 136 north to Churchville. At Churchville, Maryland 136 intersects Maryland 22 and Maryland 155, both of which interchange with Interstate 95 northeast of here. Photo taken 04/30/04.
Northbound Interstate 95/John F. Kennedy Highway reaches Exit 80, Junction Maryland 543 north to Churchville and south to Belcamp. Photo taken 04/30/04.
The next exit along northbound is the Maryland House service plaza, which features a full array of services, including food, gas, convenience store, information, and other amenities. This sign identifies the array of service options (restaurants and fast food). Note that the service plaza is a left exit, because Maryland House is located in the center median so it can service both directions. This plaza was opened in 1963, at the same time the tollway was opened to traffic. Photo taken 04/30/04.
This is another late afternoon picture of Interstate 95 northbound as it approaches the Maryland House exit. Photo taken 04/30/04.
Northbound Interstate 95 at Exit 85, Maryland House. The next service area is the Chesapeake House (located north of the Susquehanna River bridge) followed by another plaza on the Delaware Turnpike in the First State. Similar services are provided at all three locations. Photo taken 04/30/04.
This mileage sign provides the distance to three Maryland destinations: Aberdeen (via Exit 85/Maryland 22), Havre de Grace (via Exit 89/Maryland 155), and Perryville (via Exit 93/Maryland 222). Photo taken 04/30/04.
The next exit along northbound is Exit 85, Junction Maryland 22 east to Aberdeen and west to Bel Air via Churchville. Photo taken 04/30/04.
Maryland 22 begins at Business U.S. 1 in Bel Air, then travels east to Churchville (Junction Maryland 155 and Maryland 136) and onward to meet U.S. 40 (Pulaski Highway) in Aberdeen. Photo taken 04/30/04.

At the time this photo was taken, the area around the offramp for northbound Maryland 22 was under construction. Photo taken 04/30/04.
The next mileage sign provides the distance to Havre de Grace (next exit), Perryville via either Interstate 95 Exit 93 or U.S. 40, and New York City. Photo taken 04/30/04.
The next exit along southbound Interstate 95/John F. Kennedy Highway is Exit 89, Junction Maryland 155 to Churchville and Havre de Grace. This is the last exit before the Susquehanna River Bridge. The toll cannot be easily evaded because parallel U.S. 40's Hatem Bridge is also tolled with the same rates. The nearest free crossing over the river is located at U.S. 1 at Conowingo Dam, but that crossing is pretty far to the north (to reach it, use Maryland 155 west to Maryland 161 north to U.S 1 north; return to Interstate 95 via Maryland 273/Maryland 274 southeast). However, that toll evasion is circuitous and adds time to the trip. Photo taken 04/30/04.
Maryland 155 goes southeast to meet U.S. 40 in Havre de Grace at the southwest end of the Hatem Bridge and northwest to Webster and Churchville. Photo taken 04/30/04.

These signs are located on the offramp from Interstate 95 north to Maryland 155. Photo taken 04/30/04.
Interstate 95 utilizes a high-level six lane bridge over the Susquehanna River between Havre De Grace and Perryville in northeast Maryland. Known as the Millard J. Tidings Memorial Bridge, the span entails a $5.00 passenger toll for northbound motorists. The funds generated from the toll go toward the maintenance of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway section of Interstate 95. The toll plaza itself resides on the Perryville side of the bridge. Photos taken 12/18/07.
Interstate 95 enters Cecil County at the east edge of the Tidings Bridge and quickly approaches the Perryville main line toll plaza. All vehicles are levied a $5.00 toll. EZPass lanes are available, but open-road tolling is not. Photo taken 12/18/07.
Exit 93 provides connections to the northwest Cecil County town of Rising Sun via Maryland 275 and 276 north. Maryland 222 intersects the south end of Maryland 275 nearby, with Maryland 275 (Perrylawn Drive) traveling 2.2 miles to Maryland 276 (Jacob Tome Memorial Highway) for its 5.2-mile drive to the Rising Sun area. Photo taken 12/18/07.
A truck weigh station resides at the Perryville main line toll plaza in both directions of Interstate 95. Photo taken 12/18/07.
Exit 93 entails a folded-diamond interchange between Interstate 95 and Maryland 222 (Perrylawn Drive) north of Perryville and southeast of Port Deposit. Maryland 222 represents former U.S. 222 between Maryland 7 in Perryville and U.S. 1 at Conowingo. Exit 93 also serves interests to the V.A. Medical Center at Perryville and the State Police and JFK Memorial Highway Administration Building nearby. Photo taken 12/18/07.
Two EZPass lanes are available on the left-side of the forthcoming toll plaza. EZPass only lanes are also located to the right, with all cash lanes doubling with EZPass capabilities Large trucks and permit loads must use the right-hand lanes. Tolls on the Susquehanna River bridge were made northbound-only in the early to mid 1990s. Photos taken 12/18/07.
Departing the main line toll plaza, drivers quickly encounter the Exit 93 loop ramp to Maryland 222 (Perrylawn Drive). Maryland 222 travels 1.6 miles south to junction U.S. 40 (Pulaski Highway) in Perryville. Northward the state highway turns west at Maryland 275 for a descent into the Susquehanna River valley. Port Deposit represents a narrow town situated between the river and ridge. Photo taken 12/18/07.
Exit 93 leaves Interstate 95 northbound for Maryland 222 (former U.S. 222). Maryland 824 passes underneath the freeway nearby, representing an older alignment of U.S. 222 between Reservoir Road and junction Maryland 275. Maryland 222 north otherwise represents a scenic route along the Susquehanna northward between Port Deposit and Conowingo Dam. Photo taken 12/18/07.
Interstate 95 passes over Maryland 824 (Blythedale Road) and then approaches this reassurance marker. The next exit is for the Chesapeake House, the second service plaza along northbound Interstate 95/John F. Kennedy Highway. Photo taken 05/01/04.
The Chesapeake House is the last Service Plaza for the Maryland section of the John F. Kennedy Highway. The facility features gas, food, and tourist information for the Interstate 95 traveler. The next service plaza along the northbound Interstate exists near Newark, Delaware along the Delaware Turnpike 15 miles ahead. Photo taken 10/02/04.
This mileage sign along northbound provides the distance to the next exit (Exit 100/Junction Maryland 272), Elkton (via Exit 109A/Maryland 279 south), and New York City. Omitted are the Delaware destinations of Newark, Christiana, and Wilmington. Photo taken 05/01/04.
The next exit along southbound Interstate 95/John F. Kennedy Highway is Exit 100, Junction Maryland 272 north to Rising Sun and Calvert and south to North East and Elk Neck. Unlike the exit on southbound, there is no cloverleaf feature to the exit in the northbound direction. The interchange was expanded in the southbound direction between 1998-2000 to incorporate new loop ramps and the southbound collector-distributor roadway. A similar upgrade has not occurred for northbound. Photo taken 05/01/04.
Use Maryland 272 south to reach Elk Neck State Park, which is a peninsula located between the northern Chesapeake Bay (near the Susquehanna River outflow into the bay) and the Elk River, which connects to the C&D (Chesapeake and Delaware) Canal that cuts across the First State. An historic lighthouse guards the tip of the peninsula. Photo taken 05/01/04.

This reassurance shield is located along northbound after Exit 100. Photo taken 05/01/04.
The next mileage sign along northbound again omits Delaware destinations and instead provides distances to Philadelphia and New York City. Photo taken 05/01/04.
Northbound Interstate 95/John F. Kennedy Highway makes its way to its final Maryland exit, Exits 109A-B, Junction Maryland 279 south to Elkton and north to Newark, Delaware. Photo taken 05/01/04.
Exits 109A-B represent the final exit along Maryland's John F. Kennedy Highway. The Delaware Turnpike (also known as the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway) begins just east of this interchange upon crossing the state line. Unmentioned on any of the approach signs is the fact that a toll booth greets travelers entering the First State. This is the last exit before the toll plaza, so to avoid the toll, use Exits 109A-B to Maryland 279/Delaware 2 east or Maryland 279 south/U.S. 40 east. Photo taken 05/01/04.
Northbound Interstate 95 at Exit 109A, Junction Maryland 279 South. As Maryland 279 approaches Elkton, it meets Maryland 213 just north of the city, which heads south to meet U.S. 40 in the city. Maryland 279 then culminates at U.S. 40, which continues southwest toward Perryville. Photo taken 05/01/04.
