I-95 ETL Northbound Extension - Reconstruction of NB I-95, MD 43 to South of MD 152
As part of the MDTA’s $1.1 billion program to relieve congestion and improve travel along the I-95 corridor into Harford County, the MDTA is reconstructing northbound (NB) I-95 between MD 43 and south of MD 152. The NB roadway will be widened to the outside to allow for the construction of two ETL in the median area. The future roadway configuration will consist of four general purpose, non-tolled lanes, and two ETL. Access to the NB ETL from MD 43 will also be completed.
As a part of this project, the Raphel Road Bridge will be replaced to allow for the widened NB roadway and future southbound improvements, and the Big and Little Gunpowder bridges will be replaced along NB I-95. In addition, a noise wall will be constructed on NB I-95 from the Little Gunpowder Falls to north of Old Joppa Road.

Reconstruction of Northbound I-95 from MD 43 to South of MD 152
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 preliminary work to widen northbound I-95 between MD 43 (White Marsh Boulevard) and MD 152 (Mountain Road) to make way for the extension of two northbound Express Toll Lanes. The existing travel lanes have been shifted to the left towards the median area. Traffic barrier is being installed along the right shoulder to separate traffic from construction activities. All northbound travel lanes will be maintained during peak travel periods.

The barrier separation provides a safe work zone for construction workers to perform the roadway widening. Motorists should expect delays when traveling through the work zone. Please obey all speed limits and be alert so no one gets hurt. For more information, visit mdta.Maryland.gov/I95ETLNB/home.html

About Construction
Construction of the NB roadway began in spring of 2021 and is anticipated to be complete in summer of 2024. During the first phases of construction, the current roadway will be shifted to the median to allow for the construction of the widened roadway to the outside. Once the widening is completed, traffic will be shifted to the outside to allow construction of the ETL.
All travel lanes will be maintained during peak traffic periods, however some travel lanes will be closed during off-peak periods. Drivers are cautioned to slow down and follow the posted speed limits within the construction zone.
