New Left Lane Added on I-95 Near Cowenton Avenue

Those heading north of Perry Hall on Interstate 95 may notice the highway looks a bit different Thursday.

Starting Dec. 4, the Maryland Transportation Authority reports it is opening a left lane in the area of Cowenton Avenue on I-95 north.

In addition, the right lane will end approximately one mile north of Cowenton Avenue on I-95 north, according to the authority.

The changes are related to the new express toll lanes—a total of four separate lanes where travelers can pay extra to avoid traffic along an 8-mile stretch between I-895 and MD 43.

The toll lanes are opening on Saturday, Dec. 6, and the new traffic pattern will enable drivers to transition back onto the regular part of I-95.

Likewise, a left lane near Moravia Road is opening on southbound I-95 where express toll lane travelers will exit, and a right lane on I-895 south will end 0.25-mile south, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority.

Transportation officials will be out uncovering signs for the I-95 Express Toll Lanes on Thursday, the authority reported.

Drivers may test the I-95 Express Toll Lanes out for free between Dec. 6 and Dec. 12. Toll rates will apply starting at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 13.
