MARYLAND TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY -- Line 20
Primary Construction Program
PROJECT: I-895 Baltimore Harbor Tunnel Thruway - AET Conversion with Frankfurst Avenue Interchange Modifications DESCRIPTION: Demolish toll plaza, rehabilitate pavement, and install equipment to convert to all electronic tolling (AET), or cashless tolling. Modify the I-895 interchange at Frankfurst Avenue to improve safety and operations. The project will be completed in three phases: AET Conversion with Frankfurst Interchange (Gantry Work); Reconstruction Frankfurst Intersection; and I-895 Mainline & Bridge Replacement. This is a Project Labor Agreement candidate project.
PURPOSE & NEED SUMMARY STATEMENT: The advantages of converting to cashless tolling include reduced travel times; increased safety/reduced crashes; alignment with national practice; improved customer convenience; reduced emissions; and reduction in toll collection and maintenance costs. The I-895 interchange modifications will address aging bridges, clearances, and other safety and efficiency related items.

speeds through the electronic methods of E-ZPass, Pay-By-Plate, and Video Tolling.
STATUS: Design and construction are underway. Only those portions of the construction that can be completed without major traffic impacts are underway at this time due to the increased traffic in this corridor from the Key Bridge corridor closure. The project was awarded an $80M MEGA grant, which will be applied to the construction. Additional funding for the balance of the project will be added later.
