I-95 Express Toll Lanes (ETL) Northbound Extension - Home
This project continues the Maryland Transportation Authority’s (MDTA's) efforts to provide a safe and reliable drive for its customers. In addition, improvements will increase quality of life for numerous communities with the construction of several new noise walls, the replacement or rehabilitation of seven bridges that are more than 50 years old, improving water quality, and the construction of two new Park and Ride facilities. The Park and Rides are designed with 200-275 parking spaces and include bicycle facilities and accommodations for transit connections for Maryland Transit Administration and Harford Transit LINK services. The extension opened to traffic in December 2024 to MD 152, with the full extension to north of MD 24 expected to open to traffic by the end of 2027. The improvements will provide customers with the option of using the general purpose/non-tolled lanes or using the ETLs. The ETLs will provide a smoother more reliable commuting experience in exchange for a variable toll allowing motorists to enjoy relatively congestion-free travel and maintain steady speeds including those traveling by transit.
