I-95 ETL Northbound Extension - Reconstruction of the Interchange at I-95 and MD 152

Opening of I-95 Express Toll Lanes (ETL) Northbound Extension

The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) today announced the newly extended northbound Express Toll Lanes (ETL) along I-95 are expected to open Wednesday, December 18. The northbound extension spans from White Marsh Boulevard (MD 43) to Mountain Road (MD 152), providing an additional 6.5-miles of existing lanes and allowing drivers a reliable travel option, especially during peak travel times.

In order to necessitate the opening of the northbound I-95 ETL extension, the northbound Express Toll Lanes will be temporarily closed starting Tuesday, December 17, at 8 p.m. and continuing until approximately Wednesday, December 18, at 8 p.m. Motorists will travel adjacent mainline I-95 traffic lanes during this closure.

Reconstruction of the Interchange at I-95 and MD 152 & Closure of the MD 152 Park and Ride Lot

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 I-95/MD 152 interchange and northbound roadway to accommodate two ETL from south of MD 152 to south of MD 24. Work associated with the interchange will require Old Mountain Road and the existing MD 152 Park and Ride lot to close.

MD 152 Park and Ride Lot to Close

The lot will close on or about December 15, as reconstruction of the I-95/MD 152 interchange begins. To accommodate the existing park and ride users, the MDTA opened a new Park and Ride lot at the intersection of MD 924 and Woodsdale Road, adjacent to the I-95 interchange at MD 24/MD 924 in the Abingdon area of Harford County. The MDTA encourages users of the MD 152 Park and Ride lot to utilize this new facility. Advanced signage has been installed to direct users to the new Park and Ride lot. It will serve the existing MD 152 Park and Ride customers until a new Park and Ride at MD 152 is completed in late 2025. For directions to the new lot please view the MD 24/MD 924 Park and Ride project sheet.

Traffic Shift on MD 152 at I-95

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, travel lanes on MD 152 at I-95 will be shifted to accommodate reconstruction of the existing interchange.

Anticipated to begin on February 9 (weather dependent), MD 152 traffic will shift from their current location to the outside of the roadway in both directions on MD 152 between Old Mountain Road/Jaycee Drive and MD 7 (Philadelphia Road). All access to and from I-95 will retain its present configuration throughout this phase of construction, which will last approximately 3 months. The MDTA reminds drivers to plan ahead and travel off-peak to avoid delays as this critical work continues.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING CONSTRUCTION

Ground-mounted roadway signs and portable changeable message signs will inform motorists of the new traffic pattern prior to the switch. Motorists should use extra caution while approaching the area. Stay up-to-date on this switch and other traffic changes and ramp openings along I-95. Visit mdta.maryland.gov/I95ETLNB/home.html
