I-95 ETL Northbound Extension - I-695 Northbound ETL Ramps
Overview
As part of the MDTA’s efforts to relieve congestion and improve travel along the I-95 corridor in Baltimore and Harford counties, the MDTA is constructing two ramps that will connect I-695 (Baltimore Beltway) to the northbound Express Toll Lanes (ETL) on I-95. These ramps will allow motorists on eastbound and westbound I-695 (northeast Baltimore) to travel north via the ETL lanes, which will extend more than 12 miles to MD 24 by late 2027.
The two new ETL ramps are part of the connectivity between two major interstate roadways and the northbound ETLs. Motorists will have the option of using the general-purpose lanes at no cost or paying a toll to use the ETL, which are managed to maintain relatively congestion-free traffic flow.
By handling 5,200 vehicles per day, the new ramps will provide relief for the existing northbound ramps, which can experience congestion at the merge point onto I-95.
The ramps will be located entirely within the existing interchange with minimal impacts on local communities and traffic on I-695 and I-95 during construction. The MDTA has also committed to conducting stream restoration works within the existing interchange as part of this project.
Work also includes the addition of overhead signs, toll rate signs, a toll gantry, roadway lighting, stormwater management, erosion and sediment control, and landscaping.
