I-95 At Belvidere Road Transportation Improvement Study – Home
The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA), in coordination with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), conducted a NEPA study to identify potential improvements to Interstate 95 (I-95), Belvidere Road, and other nearby transportation facilities between MD 272 and MD 222 in Cecil County, Maryland. The study area is within proximity of major Mid-Atlantic metropolitan areas such as Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington DC.
The NEPA study was completed in early 2022 with a Record of Decision from FHWA approving the construction of a new interchange on I-95 at Belvidere Road. Design and construction of the interchange began in 2022 after the NEPA study concluded.
