    Maryland Transportation Authority 2020 - 2023 Transportation Improvement Program Highway Capacity National Highway System I-95 Fort McHenry Tunnel: Moravia Road to Tunnel Improvements TIP ID 22-1601-41 Year of Operation 2018 Agency Maryland Transportation Authority Project Type Roadway widening Project Category Highway Capacity Functional Class Interstate Conformity Status Not Exempt Physical Data 3.7 miles, 6 to 8 lanes CIP or CTP ID(s) MdTA-12 Est. Total Cost $73,807,000 Description: This project will reconfigure I-95 to provide four continuous mainline lanes in each direction. The specific limits are from north of the Fort McHenry Toll Plaza to the I-95 Express Toll Lanes (ETLs) in the northbound direction, and from north of the Fort McHenry Toll Plaza to north of O’Donnell Street in the southbound direction. The total work within the limits extends for 3.7 miles in the northbound direction and 1.1 miles in the southbound direction. The project involves restriping I-95 to provide one additional lane of traffic including reconstruction of at-grade shoulders, replacement of at-grade median concrete traffic barriers, and reconstruction of portions of existing bridge decks and all concrete bridge parapets. Construction continues, but the project opened to traffic for beneficial use in 2018. The project is funded with MDTA toll revenues. Justification: This project will provide lane continuity and additional capacity along I-95 between the Fort McHenry Tunnel and the I-95 ETLs. This is needed to address existing congestion and to accommodate diverted traffic from I-895 that will result from MDTA’s Canton Viaduct Project.
