OKRoads.com -- Delaware Trip -- Interstate 70 Maryland

Interstate 70 runs from Interstate 15 near Cove Fort, Utah, to a Park & Ride lot just east of Interstate 695 in Baltimore, Maryland. I drove Interstate 70 from St. Louis to Baltimore during Day Two, Day Three, and Day Four of the Delaware Trip.

	"Maryland Welcomes You" sign on Interstate 70 East. After traveling through Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania, Maryland is the 10th and final state on Interstate 70. During this trip, I drove in six of those states!
	Ground level BGS on Interstate 70 East at Exit 1A - Interstate 68/U.S. 40 West - Cumberland.

	Interstate 70 East at Exit 48 - U.S. 40 East - Frederick.
	Mileage sign on Interstate 70 East in west Frederick. It is one mile to the U.S. 15/U.S. 340 interchange, two miles to Interstate 270, and three miles to MD 355/MD 85.
	Interstate 70 East at Exit 52A - U.S. 15 South/ U.S. 340 West - Charles Town.
	Interstate 70 East at Exit 52B - U.S. 15 North - Gettysburg. Interstate 270 is 3/4 mile away.
	This button copy directional diagram sign, 1/2 mile prior to the Interstate 270 interchange, informs motorists that two lanes will go on each interstate.
	Now just 1/4 mile to Interstate 270, these newer reflective signs are present. Interstate 270 provides a connection from Frederick to the Capital Beltway northwest of Washington, DC.
	Interstate 70 East at Exit 53 - Interstate 270 South - Washington. Notice the old skinny exit tab. The Capital Beltway (Interstate 495) is 32 miles away for those exiting here.
	Most interstate-to-interstate interchanges in Maryland have gore point signage much like this one here at Exit 53, with the interstate shield included.
	Interstate 70 East at Exit 54 - MD 355/MD 85 - TO Market St.
	Interstate 70 East at Exit 55 - South St./ Fairgrounds. If you drive the speed limit (65) between Frederick and Baltimore, then you will be passed every other second. Don't say I didn't warn you.

	Mileage sign along Interstate 70 East. U.S. 29 is in three miles, Interstate 695 is in eight miles, and Downtown Baltimore is in 15 miles. But you can't get to downtown from Interstate 70!
	Interstate 70 East at Exit 87A - U.S. 29 South - Columbia/Washington.
	Interstate 70 East at Exit 87B - U.S. 29 North/ TO MD 99.
	Sign on Interstate 70 East, about five miles west of Interstate 695, informing motorists on how to get to Camden Yards from Interstate 70 East.
	Now just four miles away from Interstate 695, and the final mileage sign seen on Interstate 70 East.
	Interstate 70 East approaching Interstate 695 - 2 miles.
	This sign, about 1 1/2 miles before Interstate 695, says that Interstate 70 ends at Interstate 695. However, as you'll see later, it doesn't!
	Interstate 70 East approaching Exits 91A-B - Interstate 695 TO Interstate 95 - 1 mile. Only the left lane continues straight.
	Now just 1/2 mile away from Baltimore's outer beltway, the control cities of New York and Towson are added for Interstate 695 North, and Baltimore and Glen Burnie for Interstate 695 South. Also notice the old TO Interstate 95 shield on the right post; this is also seen at the exit itself.
	One-quarter of a mile to Interstate 695. Once again, the right two lanes will exit.
	Interstate 70 East at Exit 91A - Interstate 695 South TO Interstate 95 South - Baltimore/Glen Burnie, and Exit 91B - Interstate 695 North TO Interstate 95 North - New York/Towson.
	Another lane is added to the Security Blvd./ Park & Ride off-ramp after the gore point of the Interstate 695 exits.
	This highway is actually considered more of an off-ramp to Security Blvd. and the Park & Ride, but Interstate 70 exit numbering continues. So I will call this Interstate 70 East approaching Exit 94 - Security Blvd. North/Park & Ride - one mile.
	"Freeway Ends: 1/2 mile" sign on Interstate 70 East approaching the Park & Ride. This section of highway is lightly traveled.
	Interstate 70 East approaching Exit 94 - 1/2 mile. The lane striping now allows for one lane only, which is really all that is needed at this point.
	Interstate 70 East at Exit 94 - Security Blvd. The Park & Ride is straight ahead. And, thus the end of Interstate 70, in a Park & Ride!
	Although my passenger side pillar is in the way, these are shields at the turnaround in the Park & Ride. According to these signs, this really is Interstate 70!
	Interstate 70's first westbound exit is at Security Blvd. north, which is maintained by the county. I call this Exit 94B.
	Interstate 70 West at Exit 94 - Cooks Lane South.
	Interstate 70 West approaching Exits 91A-B - Interstate 695 - Towson/Glen Burnie - 1 mile. Unlike the eastbound lanes, the westbound lanes have lasted a lot longer. The traffic in the distance is merging from Security Blvd.
	Interstate 70 West approaching Exits 91A-B - 1/2 mile. The plan was to have three lanes continue on Interstate 70 West, but since it wasn't completed, only one lane is really necessary, so the lanes were striped accordingly.
	Interstate 70 West at Exits 91A-B - Interstate 695 - Glen Burnie/Towson. Imprints of three down arrows are visible on the Interstate 70 guide sign.
	Suddenly, the pavement becomes new again as Exit 91A and Exit 91B prepare to split. And after being on Interstate 70 since St. Louis on Day Two, I will finally be on another interstate!
