The following is a list of Interstate Highways in Maryland. There are currently 16 Interstate Highways that exist entirely or partially in the U.S. state of Maryland. Six of these are primary interstates while ten are auxiliary interstates related to one of the primary interstates. The longest primary interstate in Maryland is Interstate 95 (commonly abbreviated I-95) at 110.01 mi (177.04 km). The shortest primary interstate in Maryland is I-81 at 12.08 mi (19.44 km). I-97 is the shortest primary interstate at 17.62 mi (28.36 km) and the shortest intrastate interstate. I-97 is also the only primary interstate to be located entirely within one county and to not connect with any other primary interstate. The longest auxiliary interstate in Maryland is I-695 at 51.48 mi (82.85 km). The shortest auxiliary interstate in Maryland is I-295 at 0.80 mi (1.29 km). All interstates are maintained by the Maryland State Highway Administration except for all of I-395, all of I-895, a small part of I-695, I-95 within and north of Baltimore, and I-83 within Baltimore. Maryland has one unsigned interstate, I-595; that highway is marked as U.S. Route 50 and US 301, which are concurrent with I-595 for its entire length. Maryland has three former interstates which are shaded in dark gray in the list.

Interstate 97 (I-97) is a north-south Interstate Highway in the eastern United States. It runs entirely within Anne Arundel County, Maryland, for 17.62 miles (28.36 km) from U.S. Route 50/U.S. Route 301 (US 50/US 301) in Parole near Annapolis north to I-695 and I-895B in Brooklyn Park near Baltimore. The interstate is the primary highway between Baltimore and Annapolis. I‑97 connects Annapolis with Baltimore/Washington International Airport and links the northern Anne Arundel County communities of Crownsville, Millersville, Severna Park, Glen Burnie, and Ferndale. It is currently the second shortest primary Interstate Highway in the country after the unfinished I-87 in North Carolina.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Interstate 795 (Maryland)</span> Highway in Maryland

Interstate 795 (I-795), also known as the Northwest Expressway, is a nine-mile (14 km) auxiliary Interstate Highway linking Baltimore's northwestern suburbs of Pikesville, Owings Mills, and Reisterstown, Maryland, to the Baltimore Beltway (I-695). The route bypasses Maryland Route 140, carrying part of the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA)'s Baltimore Metro SubwayLink in its median for a four-mile (6.4 km) stretch, and provides direct access to the former Owings Mills Mall. It never connects to its parent, I-95, except via I-695.

Interstate 895 (I-895) is an auxiliary Interstate Highway in the US state of Maryland. Known as the Harbor Tunnel Thruway, the highway runs 11.44 miles (18.41 km) between one junction with I-95 in Elkridge and another interchange with I-95 on the east side of Baltimore.

In conjunction with a pair of spurs, unsigned I-895A and I-895B, I-895 provides access to the tunnel from I-97 and Maryland Route 2 (MD 2) in Glen Burnie. The highway is designed for through traffic by having partial interchanges that require vehicles from almost all starting points to pass through the tunnel and the tunnel toll plaza, where a $1.40-$6.00 toll is charged to passenger vehicles, before exiting the facility.

Interstate 695 (I-695) is a 51.46-mile-long (82.82 km) auxiliary Interstate Highway that constitutes a beltway extending around Baltimore, Maryland, United States. I-695 is officially designated the McKeldin Beltway but is colloquially referred to as either the Baltimore Beltway or 695. The route is an auxiliary route of I-95, intersecting that route southwest of Baltimore near Arbutus and northeast of the city near White Marsh. It also intersects other major roads radiating from the Baltimore area, including I-97 near Glen Burnie, the Baltimore–Washington Parkway near Linthicum, I-70 near Woodlawn, I-795 near Pikesville, and I-83 in the Timonium area. The 19.37-mile (31.17 km) portion of the Baltimore Beltway between I-95 northeast of Baltimore and I-97 south of Baltimore is officially Maryland Route 695 (MD 695) and is not part of the Interstate Highway System but is signed as I-695. The Francis Scott Key Bridge that crossed over the Patapsco River was included in this section of the route before the bridge's collapse on March 26, 2024. The bridge and its approaches were maintained by the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA), while the remainder of the Baltimore Beltway is maintained by the Maryland State Highway Administration (MDSHA).

<span class="mw-page-title-main">U.S. Route 1 Alternate (Baltimore, Maryland)</span> Highway in Maryland

U.S. Route 1 Alternate is an alternate route of US 1 in the U.S. state of Maryland. The highway runs 3.92 miles (6.31 km) between intersections with US 1 in Arbutus and in Baltimore. US 1 Alt. serves the southwestern Baltimore County community of Halethorpe and connects US 1 with full-access interchanges with Interstate 95 (I-95) and I-695. The Washington Boulevard portion of the alternate route was the original road southwest from Baltimore in the 18th century and was part of the turnpike southwest to Washington, D.C. for much of the 19th century. The highway was paved in the early 1910s, expanded in the late 1910s and late 1920s, and became part of US 1 in 1926. The Caton Avenue portion of the alternate route was improved and expanded in the 1930s to serve as a rerouting of US 1 in southwest Baltimore. US 1 Alt. was created in 1949 when US 1 was moved to its present course through Arbutus and southwest Baltimore. The alternate route's interchanges with I-695 and I-95 were constructed in the late 1950s and mid-1970s, respectively.
