I-95 Express Toll Lanes (ETL) Northbound Extension - Home

Split Traffic Pattern on Northbound I-95 between Mile Marker 73 and Mile Marker 75

Northbound I-95 at the MD 152 interchange (Exit 74) will shift to a new traffic pattern. Anticipated to begin in early December (weather dependent), and continuing through June 2023, traffic will split with two lanes to the left and two lanes to the right of the work zone separated by barrier on northbound I-95 between mile marker 73 and mile marker 75. The split pattern will allow crews a safe work zone to continue construction of the new MD 152 overpass as part of the overall reconstruction of the I-95/MD 152 interchange.

Motorists exiting at MD 152/Mountain Road (Exit 74) MUST stay in the right two lanes as they approach mile marker 73. Northbound I-95 access will continue from all four travel lanes within the split pattern. Temporary signs will be installed to direct motorists approaching the traffic split. The MDTA reminds drivers to plan ahead and travel off-peak to avoid delays as this critical work continues. Traffic delays are typical in this area during afternoon peak periods. On average, motorists historically experience northbound Friday afternoon travel delays up to 20 minutes with queues up to nine miles.

Alternating single-lane traffic on Winters Run Road under I-95 begins May 10

Beginning Tuesday, May 10, 2022, Winters Run Road under I-95 will switch to an alternating traffic pattern maintained in a single lane using a temporary traffic signal. This alternating, single-lane traffic pattern is expected to be in effect until fall 2023. The new traffic pattern is needed to complete the widening of the I-95 Northbound Bridge over Winters Run Road and Winters Run Stream. Minor traffic delays are anticipated, and drivers using Winters Run Road should consider alternate routes. Access to all private residences will be maintained throughout the duration of the project.

The widening of the I-95 Northbound Bridge over Winters Run Road is part of the Maryland Transportation Authority’s (MDTA) $1.1 billion I-95 Express Toll Lanes (ETL) Northbound Extension Program to relieve congestion and improve travel along the I-95 Corridor into Harford County. In addition to the I-95 northbound roadway improvements, the program will replace several bridges that are more than 50 years old and provide new noise walls. The ETL Northbound Extension will be completed in multiple segments and expected to open to traffic in 2024 through MD 152 and in 2027 through MD 24.

Reconstruction Closes Raphel Road Overpass at I-95 Until Early 2023

As part of the Maryland Transportation Authority’s (MDTA) $1.1 billion program to relieve congestion and improve travel along the I-95 Corridor into Harford County, the MDTA is beginning the reconstruction of the Raphel Road overpass to accommodate two ETL from south of MD 43 to south of MD 152. Beginning early March, the Raphel Road overpass at I-95 will be closed for reconstruction. The overpass is scheduled to reopen by early 2023. 

During construction, all traffic will be detoured to the Bradshaw Road overpass. Access to all private residences will be maintained throughout the duration of the project. In addition to daytime work, some overnight work along I-95 and Raphel Road will be necessary to complete the improvements.
