A $1 billion project is underway in the state of Maryland along Interstate 95. Being constructed are the Interstate 95 Express Toll Lanes. Beginning at the Interstate 895 merge in Baltimore and ending at the Joppatowne Road overpass, the express toll lanes project will widen Interstate 95 from eight general purpose lanes to eight general purpose lanes and four tolled express lanes.

Elements of the project include the reconstruction of the Interstate 95/895 wye interchange to relocate the Interstate 895 southbound split from a left-hand to a right-hand ramp and the addition of direct ramps between Interstate 895 and the new express toll lanes. Work began on this project in October 2006 and should be completed by October 2008.

Merging with Interstate 895 north from Interstate 95 north in Baltimore. Construction of the new flyover that will carry Interstate 895 north onto the general purpose lanes of Interstate 95 is well underway.

Further east, the symmetrical directional interchange with Interstate 695 will be completely redesigned into that of a high-speed stack interchange, with connections to both the Interstate 95 mainline and the inner express lanes. Reconfiguration of this interchange will eliminate all of the left-hand movements drivers presently encounter. Phase one of the project began on January 22, 2007 to build a symmetrical stack interchange between the general purpose lanes of Interstate 95 and Interstate 695. Completion is expected in 2010. Phase two, the building of ramps between the new express toll lanes and Interstate 695, as scheduled will begin in May 2008 and end by June 2011.

Towering pillars and the future flyover between Interstate 95 north and Interstate 695 rise above the present interchange in east Baltimore.

Looking north along Interstate 95 at new flyovers to Interstate 695 north from Interstate 95 north and Interstate 695 south to Interstate 95 north. These ramps are slated to open in 2010.

Beginning in Spring 2008, crews will expand their focus to the Interstate 95 interchange with Maryland 43, a current full-cloverleaf interchange. Work includes widening of 1.1 miles of Maryland 43 from four to six lanes and rebuilding of the interchange with directional ramps from the Interstate 95 general purpose lanes and additional ramps from the express toll lanes. Work will take three years to complete.
