    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.

  • ANNAPOLIS, MD—Governor Larry Hogan Today Announced That Full-Time All-Electronic (Cashless) Tolling Is Now Permanent Across Maryland, Including at the John F
    ANNAPOLIS, MD—Governor Larry Hogan today announced that full-time all-electronic (cashless) tolling is now permanent across Maryland, including at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway (I-95), Fort McHenry Tunnel (I-95), Baltimore Harbor Tunnel (I-895), and Nice/Middleton Bridge (US 301). With all-electronic tolling, drivers do not stop to pay tolls. Instead, tolls are collected through E-ZPass and video tolling. The system provides convenience for motorists, less engine idling for better fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, decreased congestion, and increased safety. “In addition to historic toll relief and record-breaking progress on critical infrastructure updates, permanent all-electronic tolling is the latest step we have taken to save motorists time and money,” said Governor Hogan. “By combining innovation, safety, and savings, this truly is a win-win for the state government and for everyone who travels in our great state.” The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) implemented temporary all-electronic tolling statewide in March as part of its COVID-19 response, and made all-electronic tolling permanent at the Bay Bridge in May with the installation of a new tolling gantry. Other MDTA facilities, including the Intercounty Connector (ICC)/MD 200, I-95 Express Toll Lanes in Baltimore, and the Key (I-695) and Hatem (US 40) bridges, already operate under all- electronic tolling. “During the COVID-19 emergency, all-electronic tolling has been an operational success and has helped us protect our toll collection employees and the traveling public,” said MDTA Executive Director Jim Ports. “With this system now permanent, stopping to pay tolls in Maryland is a part of history.” Under all-electronic tolling, motorists who previously paid with cash at the John F.
