Paul, I think the locations are permanent, but hopefully the final configuration will include at least 2 lanes to accomodate more cars before they back up onto 95. I also think there will be an additonal set of lights for the traffic exiting the toll lanes at 43. They will come up a straight ramp and exit onto 43 at the center of the bridge. If memory serves, the exits at 43 were not part of the …   more ›

OPINION: White Marsh Express Toll Lanes Offer Commuters a Choice

The managed lanes approach coming to Interstate 95 in Baltimore County will help to manage congestion while using public dollars in a sensible manner.

Construction began last week to reconfigure the White Marsh Boulevard interchange along Interstate 95. This nearly $150 million project is part of the larger I-95 Express Toll Lanes (ETLs) initiative that is bringing new capacity to this heavily traveled highway—but in a manner that will make use of new technologies for managing travel demand. Since spring 2006, work has been underway on the I-95 Express Toll Lanes. Two new ETLs are being added in each direction.

Here is where managed lanes technology comes into play. Unlike other toll facilities nearby, rates will vary based on demand by …
