E-ZPass Malfunction is Fixed: Transportation Officials

There were major delays at the Fort McHenry Tunnel Monday morning for those who planned to use their E-ZPass.

At approximately 6:30 a.m., the Maryland Transportation Authority reported that E-ZPass lanes were temporarily unavailable due to an electrical issue on Interstate 95 south.

Drivers who planned to use E-ZPass to go south through the tunnel had to use the other lanes, which accept both cash and E-ZPass.

After 7:30 a.m., the E-ZPass lanes had reopened but the damage had been done—there were “major delays,” according to the Maryland Transportation Authority.

Officials said that by 7:45 a.m., the backups had cleared.

All lanes were open and traffic was running smoothly in the area Monday afternoon.
