JOHN F. KENNEDY MEMORIAL HIGHWAY (I-95)
Opened in 1963, the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway is a 50-mile section of I-95 from the northern Baltimore City line to Delaware. Tolls are collected in the northbound direction only. The facility includes the Millard E. Tydings Memorial Bridge over the Susquehanna River in northeast Maryland. The Maryland House and Chesapeake House travel plazas are located on I-95 in Harford and Cecil counties and serve millions of customers annually. Eight miles of I-95 Express Toll Lanes (ETL) opened on the JFK Highway between I-895 and White Marsh in December 2014, and the northbound exten- sion from MD 43 to MD 152 opened to traffic in December 2024. With the ETL, motorists have the choice to pay a toll at highway speeds, to travel in relatively free-flowing lanes or use the non-tolled general-purpose lanes. FY 2025 TRAFFIC VOLUME: 30.8 MILLION VEHICLES*
FORT MCHENRY TUNNEL (I-95, I-395) The largest underwater highway tunnel, as well as the widest vehicular tunnel ever built by the immersed tube method, the Fort McHenry Tunnel opened to traffic in 1985. The eight-lane tunnel is nearly 1.4-miles long and connects the Locust Point and Canton areas of Baltimore, crossing under the Patapsco River, just south of historic Fort McHenry. The tunnel is a vital link in I-95, the East Coast’s most important interstate route. Including the tunnel and approach roadways, the facility is approximately 10.3 miles in length. In 2023, highway-speed all-electronic tolling began at the Fort McHenry Tunnel. FY 2025 TRAFFIC VOLUME: 50.4 MILLION VEHICLES
