I-95 Traffic Reduction: Toll Lanes Extended From White Marsh To Joppatowne

NOTTINGHAM, MD — Drivers can take the Interstate 95 Express Toll Lanes even further starting Wednesday.

The northbound extension adds 6.5 miles to the existing toll lanes, where drivers pay a small fee to take a less congested, adjacent section of I-95.

The new stretch runs from White Marsh Boulevard (Maryland Route 43) in Nottingham to Mountain Road (Maryland Route 152) in Joppatowne.

The Maryland Transportation Authority, which owns and operates the state's toll facilities, called this stretch “one of Maryland's busiest corridors.”

“The northbound I-95 Express Toll Lanes extension project provides travelers with a more reliable travel experience while easing congestion on our highways,” MDTA Executive Director Bruce Gartner said in a Monday press release. “Through innovation and safety, this project represents our commitment to modernize Maryland's infrastructure and enhance mobility options.”

The first portion of the I-95 Express Toll Lanes opened in 2014, connecting Interstates 95 and 895 to Maryland Route 43. The toll lanes have clocked over 87 million users, 95% more than original use projections.

The full extension to Vietnam Veterans Memorial Highway (Maryland Route 24) in Edgewood and new ramps connecting I-695 to the northbound toll lanes are expected to open by the end of 2027.

The completed toll lanes will span 16 miles from Baltimore City through Baltimore County and into Harford County.

Toll rates, posted here, vary by time of day, vehicle axle counts and payment type. The tolls are charged via E-ZPass, pay-by-plate or video tolling.
