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 has completed reconstruction of northbound (NB) I-95 between MD 43 and south of MD 152. The northbound roadway was widened to the outside to allow for two ETL in the median area. The final roadway configuration consists of four general purpose, non-tolled lanes, and two ETL. Access to the NB ETL from MD 43 has been completed.
As a part of this project, the Raphel Road Bridge was replaced to allow for the widened northbound roadway and future southbound improvements, and the Big and Little Gunpowder bridges were replaced along northbound I-95. In addition, a noise wall was constructed on northbound 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.
