Primary Construction Program
PROJECT: I-95 John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway - Express Toll Lanes (ETL) Northern Extension
DESCRIPTION: The two-lane Express Toll Lane extension to MD 24 includes I-95 safety improvements from Cowenton Road to MD 24; the reconstruction of the MD 24 and MD 152 interchanges; the replacement of four bridges over I-95 (Bradshaw Road, Old Joppa Road, Clayton Road, and Raphel Road); the construction of five noise walls; and environmental mitigation.
PURPOSE & NEED SUMMARY STATEMENT: Traffic operations on northbound I-95 beyond the current MD 43 Express Toll Lanes terminus experience routine congestion during peak hours. The improvements will address capacity concerns, improve safety, and allow for better incident management and maintenance activities. The construction of additional noise walls will address the community's requests about quality of life.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGE FROM FY 2025 - 30 CTP: Cost decreased by $11 million. The ETL Northbound Extension has received favorable bids for several contracts that have been below cost estimates. These include the last two large contracts in the ETL program. Additionally, the program is moving into its final stages with the first section open to traffic and the final contracts in procurement or construction. Therefore, the decision was made to reduce the overall program budget.
