I-95 within the Baltimore Beltway crosses through Baltimore and some suburbs. Major roadway features include the Fort McHenry Tunnel and the I-95/I-395 interchange.


The images below are only in the northbound direction.
See under each photo for photo dates.

Once past I-695, I-95 intersects Caton Avenue/unsigned US 1 Alternate. I-95 also enters Baltimore City less than a half of a mile past I-695.

Also note that the MD 166 sign has an error - it should have "MARYLAND" above the line.

Technically when you veer right at this split, you are still de jure on MD 166. Despite this, the first eastbound I-195 reassurance marker is at the first bend past the Southwest Park and Ride, thus making this the de facto start of I-195.

Continuing eastbound, an on-ramp from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) merges onto MD 166/I-195. The next BGS reminds drivers that the next exit is for I-95 Southbound towards Washington, DC.

Approaching I-95, we see what should be the first overhead reassurance marker, officially marking the de jure start of I-195. This section of roadway opened piecemeal between 1971 and 1975. Initially, this was signed as a second part of MD 46 (the then route from MD 295 to Friendship International Airport, now BWI Thurgood Marshall International Airport) but eventually was signed as an extension of MD 166 by the early 1980's. It would be signed as such until the switchover to I-195 in June 1990.
