Interstate 895 Spur
I-895 Spur A and Spur B connect the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel Thruway with Interstate 97 (Glen Burnie Bypass) and MD 2 (Governor Richie Highway) to the south. These are unsigned, though a reassurance shield was previously posted along the southbound exit ramp for Spur A. The spurs take traffic southward to Anne Arundel County and northward from the connecting routes to the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel. There are no exits on the spur routes, nor from the I-895 mainline northbound beyond Spur A until after the Patapsco River crossing.
Interstate 895 Spur A links I-97 north with I-695 (Baltimore Beltway) west and the Harbor Tunnel Thruway. The 0.71 mile freeway combines with Interstate 895 Spur B north of the Beltway. 2.67 miles in length, Spur B connects MD 2 (Governor Ritchie Highway) with I-895 north ahead of the K-Truss Bridge in Baltimore.
