Travel directions
At Elkridge, I-895 branches off from Interstate 95, which comes from Washington. The highway has 2×2 lanes here. It goes under Interstate 195, but there are no interchanges with it. Not far after that, one crosses Interstate 695, Baltimore ‘ s ring road. Barely a mile after that, it crosses State Route 295, the secondary highway between Washington and Baltimore. Shortly thereafter, the link from Interstate 97 merges into I-895. You then go through the 2.3 kilometer long Baltimore Harbor Tunnelunder the harbors of Baltimore. You then go under I-95, but there are no interchanges with it either. Both highways then run parallel to the Baltimore border, where I-895 merges with I-95 that continues to Philadelphia and New York.
History
Most of the route opened on November 29, 1957, allowing traffic to avoid busy downtown Baltimore. Travel time through Baltimore decreased from 60 to 12 minutes. You could avoid as many as 50 traffic lights on US 1. The open section ran from US 1 in Elkridge to US 40 in eastern Baltimore, virtually all of the freeway except for connections to I-95. In 1961, the connection with the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway (I-95) opened towards Philadelphia, and in 1973 the western connection opened with I-95 towards Washington.
Between 2016 and 2020, a 1-mile overpass immediately north of the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel was replaced. The project cost $290 million and was completed on December 4, 2020.

I-370 begins in the suburb of Gaithersburg on Interstate 270 and heads east with 2×3 lanes. This is a major sub-center in the Washington DC metropolitan area, and Gaithersburg and Rockville are major suburbs. In Emory Grove, I-370 becomes State Route 200, also known as the Intercounty Connector (ICC), which continues east through the northern suburbs to Interstate 95.
History
The highway was proposed in the late 1970s as part of the Intercounty Connector, a second bypass north of Washington DC. Construction began in the late 1980s and opened in the early 1990s as a short connection between I-270 and a subway station. The highway originally had 2×2 lanes. The rest of the ICC was not built at the time, but finally started construction in 2007. It opened on February 23, 2011, connecting a little further north to I-370, which was shortened a little. Nevertheless, the ICC will not be numbered as I-370.
