All-Electronic (Cashless) Tolling / AET

John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway (I-95) All Electronic (Cashless) Tolling

The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) began highway-speed all-electronic tolling (AET) construction work in May 2021 at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway (Northbound I-95) toll plaza. The project will implement highway-speed AET at the JFK toll plaza on an interim basis until permanent AET conversion can be studied, designed, and constructed. With cashless toll collection, there’s no slowing or stopping to pay tolls. Instead, motorists pay tolls at highway speed via E-ZPass, Pay-By-Plate or Video Tolling. Benefits include increased safety, less engine idling and better fuel efficiency.

The JFK project will convert the middle lanes of the toll plaza into highway-speed lanes by removing toll islands and booths and will be completed in 3 phases.

JFK (Northbound I-95) All Electronic (Cashless) Tolling – Construction

Phase 1

  • Removal of toll booth, island and canopy in toll plaza lanes 6-8.
  • Construction of tolling gantry and ITS/Electrical equipment installation.
  • Installation and testing of tolling equipment.

Phases 2-3

  • Traffic begins travel at highway speeds through former toll plaza lanes 6-8.
  • Removal of toll booth, island, and canopy in lanes 9-12.
  • Weigh station ramp construction.
  • Right side and left side traffic barrier installation.
  • Milling and final pavement overlay.
