I-95 Express Toll Lanes Open on Saturday

At long last, the I-95 Express Toll Lanes will open on Saturday, Dec. 6.

The $1 billion project created four total additional lanes along an 8-mile stretch of the highway, from I-895 to MD 43.

The I-95 express lanes are designed to decrease congestion and provide more reliable travel times, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority.

• I-95 North: Drivers on I-95 north can get on the toll lanes near the I-895 merge or if they are on I-895 just before Moravia Road. Getting off the toll lanes, drivers may exit onto I-95 north near White Marsh or onto MD 43/White Marsh Boulevard, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority.
• I-95 South: Those headed south can get on the express toll lanes from MD 43 as well as on I-95 near White Marsh. To get off the expressway on I-95 south, the exit is onto I-95 near the I-895 split or onto I-895 near Moravia Road, the authority reported.

From Dec. 6 to Dec. 12, drivers are welcome to use the toll lanes—there are two northbound lanes and two southbound lanes—free of charge.

Tolls will begin to be collected at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 13, according to theMaryland Transportation Authority. Video cameras, rather than traditional toll booths, will collect toll fares using EZ Pass. See the toll fees here.
