Baltimore-Washington_Parkway

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Baltimore–Washington Parkway Baltimore–Washington Parkway Cheverly in Prince Georges County near the D.C. border, and continues northeast as a parkway maintained by the National Park Service (NPS) to Maryland Route 175 near Fort Meade, serving many federal institutions. This portion of the parkway, which is dedicated to Gladys Noon Spellman, a representative of Maryland’s 5th congressional district has the hidden Maryland Route 295 designation and is restricted to trucks. Past MD 175, the Maryland State Highway Administration takes over maintenance, the truck ban ends, and the MD 295 designation becomes signed. This section of the parkway passes near Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Upon entering Baltimore, the Baltimore Department of Transportation maintains the parkway and it continues north to an interchange with I-95, where the Baltimore–Washington Parkway ends and MD 295 continues north unsigned on Russell Street, which carries the route north into downtown Baltimore. In downtown Baltimore, MD 295 follows Paca Street northbound and Greene Street southbound before ending at U.S. Route 40. Plans for a parkway linking Baltimore and Washington date back to Pierre Charles L’Enfant’s original layout for Washington D.C. in the 18th century but did not fully develop until the 1920s. Major reasons surrounding the need for a parkway included high accident rates on adjacent U.S. Route 1 and defense purposes before World War II. In the mid-1940s, plans for the design of the parkway were finalized and construction began in 1947 for the state-maintained portion and in 1950 for the NPS-maintained segment. The entire parkway opened to traffic in stages between 1950 and 1954. Following the completion of the B–W Parkway, suburban growth in both Washington and Baltimore facilitated by the parkway took place. In the 1960s and the 1970s, there were plans to give the segment of the parkway owned by the NPS to the state and make it a part of Interstate 295 and possibly I-95; however, they never came through and the entire road is today known as MD 295, despite only being signed on the state-maintained portion.

The road begins at an interchange with U.S. Route 50 and Maryland Route 201 near 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Between the 1980s and the 2000s, the NPS portion of the road was modernized and a part of the state-maintained portion is in the process of being widened from four to six lanes, with more widening and a new interchange along this segment planned for the future. Baltimore–Washington Parkway featuring the Clarendon typeface.[1][5] Along this section of the parkway, commercial vehicles such as trucks are prohibited; however, buses and limousines are allowed.[6] The parkway heads through wooded surroundings near industrial areas and passes over MD 201, where there is a ramp from southbound MD 201 to the southbound B-W Parkway. It continues northeast, passing near Prince George’s Hospital Center, to interchange with Maryland Route 202 (Landover Road) in Cheverly and another on with Maryland Route 450 (Annapolis Road) in Bladensburg near the former Capital Plaza Mall.[5] The parkway has daily traffic counts of 115,412 vehicles at the MD 202 interchange and 108,082 vehicles at the MD 450 interchange.[1] It continues north as a fourlane 55 mph (89 km/h) road, with the median widening to include trees, and passes through woodland, skirting residential neighborhoods hidden by the trees. The road interchanges with Maryland Route 410 (Riverdale Road) west of New Carrollton, where the parkway sees about 107,982 vehicles every day.[1][5] North of here, the route runs near more residences before entering Greenbelt and Greenbelt Park. In the northeastern corner of the park, the Baltimore–Washington Parkway interchanges with Interstate 95 and Interstate 495 (the Capital Beltway).[5] This interchange, which sees about 118,582 vehicles a day on the B–W Parkway, is signed with standard MUTCD green signage, and is the only one to feature such signage on the NPS segment.[1][5] Just past the Capital Beltway, the route heads into the heart of the city of Greenbelt, immediately interchanging with Maryland Route 193 (Greenbelt Road), where the road sees 103,132 vehicles on a daily basis.[1][5] The U.S. Park Police, which patrol the portion of the parkway maintained by the NPS, is located off this exit along MD 193.[7] At the northern edge of the town, the route interchanges with an employee-only access road into the Goddard Space Flight Center; beyond this interchange, the route enters the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center.[5] The parkway’s only interchange within the center is at Powder Mill Road, south of Capitol College, where the road sees about 111,942 vehicles a day.[1][5] Outside the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, the parkway interchanges with Maryland Route 197 (Laurel–Bowie Route description Tuxedo Interchange The parkway begins at the Tuxedo Interchange, a large hybrid cloverleaf just outside the Washington, D.C. boundary at Tuxedo, Maryland that is maintained by the Maryland State Highway Administration.[1] Two routes converge at the southern and western ends of the interchange: U.S. Route 50, which heads west into Washington, D.C. to become New York Avenue; and Maryland Route 201, which begins at the D.C. line along the northernmost tip of the Kenilworth Avenue Freeway (which continues into the District of Columbia as D.C. Route 295). US 50 continues east from this interchange as the John Hanson Highway, a freeway, and MD 201 continues north on Kenilworth Avenue, a surface road that closely parallels the B-W Parkway to the east past the interchange.[1][5] At this interchange, the parkway sees 111,852 vehicles a day.[1] NPS segment The Baltimore–Washington Parkway south of the exit for MD 450 in Bladensburg. Now maintained by the National Park Service (NPS), the B–W Parkway continues north as a six-lane 45 mph (72 km/h) limited-access parkway with the secret Maryland Route 295 designation, containing brown signs 2 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Baltimore–Washington Parkway provides access to the Arundel Mills shopping mall. This interchange where the ramps intersect Arundel Mills Boulevard is a rare instance of a dumbbell interchange in the United States. Past this interchange, MD 295 comes to a cloverleaf interchange with Maryland Route 100, where the road sees 91,630 vehicles a day. Continuing northeast, the route curves to the northwest of BaltimoreWashington International Airport, passing near an industrial park and entering woodland again, eventually interchanging with Interstate 195, the main access road to the airport, where an average of 91,070 vehicles travel the parkway daily.[2][5] Within this interchange, before passing under I-195, the road crosses over the Amtrak Northeast Corridor.[5] Still on a northeast track, the route intersects West Nursery Road near Linthicum, adjacent to the BWI Hotel District. Here, about 92,190 vehicles travel MD 295 daily. Past West Nursery Road, the road intersects Interstate 695 (the Baltimore Beltway) at a full cloverleaf interchange, where 83,320 vehicles travel the route every day. Turning north, the route widens to six lanes and passes under Maryland Route 168 (Nursery Road) before crossing the Patapsco River into Baltimore County.[2][5] Upon crossing into Baltimore County, MD 295 reaches a partial interchange with Interstate 895 (Harbor Tunnel Thruway), with access from northbound MD 295 to northbound I-895 and from southbound I-895 to southbound MD 295.[3][5] At this interchange, the road sees about 63,832 vehicles a day.[3] Past I-895, the road continues through wooded surrounding with residential developments behind the trees, before entering the city of Baltimore.[3][5] In Baltimore, MD 295 continues as a limited-access freeway maintained by the Baltimore Department of Transportation, still surrounded by trees with urban residential and industrial neighborhoods nearby and interchanging with Maryland Route 648 (Annapolis Road) and Waterview Avenue just beyond the city line. Now running due north, the parkway soon reaches its northern terminus at Interstate 95, where MD 295 downgrades from a limited-access freeway to a six-lane 35 mph (56 km/h) undivided city street called Russell Street.[4][5] At this interchange, the road sees 55,650 vehicles daily.[4] MD 295 continues northeast on Russell Street, where it is unsigned for the Northbound Baltimore–Washington Parkway between Powder Mill Road and MD 197. Road) south of Laurel, where an average of 98,992 vehicles travel the road every day.[1][5] Past MD 197, the road passes through the western edge of the Patuxent National Wildlife Research Refuge, crossing the Patuxent River into Anne Arundel County.[5] Here the parkway continues northeast through dense woodland and interchanges with Maryland Route 198 (Fort Meade Road) to the east of Laurel, where the road sees 87,150 vehicles a day. Continuing north, the parkway interchanges with Maryland Route 32 (Savage Road) near Fort Meade, where an average of 84,450 vehicles travel the parkway daily.[2][5] MD 32 offers northbound travelers direct access into the fort and to the National Security Agency, while the next interchange, another employee-only access road into Fort Meade, features only a southbound exit and northbound entrance.[5] After this interchange, the road continues to a cloverleaf interchange with Maryland Route 175 (Jessup Road), where NPS maintenance of the parkway comes to an end at the south end of the interchange.[2][5] At this interchange, about 97,040 vehicles travel the road daily.[2] Maryland Route 295 Past this interchange, Maryland Route 295 gains signage and continues north as a fourlane grade-separated freeway maintained by the Maryland State Highway Administration with no truck ban. This section of the road features standard MUTCD green signage. It heads through wooded areas and interchanges with the western end of Maryland Route 713F (Arundel Mills Boulevard), which 3 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Baltimore–Washington Parkway Mulberry Street eastbound and Franklin Street westbound, in downtown Baltimore. Maryland Route 129 continues north from the northern terminus of MD 295, following Paca Street northbound and Pennsylvania Avenue southbound.[4][5] In the downtown area, Greene Street has average daily traffic counts of 17,150 vehicles at Lombard Street, 10,150 vehicles at Baltimore Street, and 10,850 vehicles at Franklin Street (US 40) while Paca Street sees 11,850 vehicles at Lombard Street and 11,050 vehicles at Baltimore Street.[4] MD 295 southbound on Russell Street in Baltimore. remainder of the route, through a mix of industrial and commercial areas before turning into a divided highway and passing to the west of M&T Bank Stadium, where the Baltimore Ravens National Football League team plays. Past here, the road features an interchange with Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, which becomes Interstate 395 south of Russell Street.[5] Here, 35,175 vehicles travel Russell Street daily.[4] After this interchange, MD 295 runs west of Oriole Park at Camden Yards, which is home to Major League Baseball ’s Baltimore Orioles, as a four-lane divided street.[5] Immediately after Camden Yards, at the intersection with Washington Boulevard, MD 295 splits into a oneway pair with northbound traffic following Paca Street and southbound traffic following Greene Street.[4][5] At this point, the road sees 20,950 vehicles daily.[4] Along the one-way pair, the route intersects many major streets in downtown Baltimore, including Pratt Street-Lombard Street, Baltimore Street-Fayette Street, and Saratoga Street. Greene Street passes the University of Maryland Medical Center between Lombard Street and Baltimore Street, the Baltimore VA Medical Center between Baltimore Street and Fayette Street, and Westminster Hall and Burying Ground at the corner of Fayette Street. Paca Street passes by the Sonneborn Building north of Pratt Street; thr Heiser, Rosenfeld, and Strauss Buildings north of Lombard Street; the historic Paca Street Firehouse and Sanitary Laundry Company Building just north of the intersection with Fayette Street; and Lexington Market at the intersection with Lexington Street.[5] MD 295 officially ends at U.S. Route 40, which follows History The early days Map of the Baltimore–Washington Parkway from the National Park Service. Plans for a parkway connecting Baltimore and Washington date back to the 1920s as a part of a system that was initially included in Pierre Charles L’Enfant’s layout of Washington, D.C from the 18th century.[8] In 1924, Harry W. Nice, who would later become Governor of Maryland, called for the parkway to be constructed.[9] 4 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Early proposals made by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission involved a route that followed U.S. Route 1 north to MD 198, then east to Fort Meade, but lack of funding led to simpler plans to widen US 1 instead. During the 1930s, the New Deal programs promulgated by President Franklin Roosevelt led to a heightened awareness of the parkway proposals; a 1937 report by the Maryland State Planning Commission increased awareness further.[10] Spiraling accident levels on US 1, which was called one of the deadliest roads in the world at the time, combined with awareness of the need to mobilize national defense before World War II, provided additional motivation for construction of the parkway.[11][12] In 1942, the Federal Bureau of Public Roads began the process to start construction designs for the parkway.[13] Federal and state officials commissioned the firm J.E. Greiner to create designs for the parkway, which included a large Y-junction at the southern terminus to connect with New York Avenue and the proposed Anacostia Freeway, with plans for a further parkway (now the John Hanson Highway). Meanwhile, the northern end included a similar wye, with one end running to US 40 (Franklin Street) and the other end crossing the Inner Harbor, but this was modified in 1945 to the current configuration.[14] Baltimore–Washington Parkway Post-construction Around the time the highway was completed, the federal government began to promote suburbanization by moving several federal agencies out of the capital in order to protect them against nuclear attack.[17] As a result, suburban neighborhoods began to appear in Laurel, Severn, Bowie, and Greenbelt. In addition, the road became a prime commuting route into both Washington and Baltimore, leading to suburban growth that would eventually cause the two distinct cities to merge into one large metropolitan area.[18] In 1963, the State Roads Commission, the National Park Service, and the Bureau of Public Roads (the direct predecessor of the Federal Highway Administration) (FHWA) created tentative plans to transfer the NPS segment of the parkway to the state of Maryland, who would then rebuild it to modern freeway standards, with trucks and buses permitted throughout.[19] The plan collapsed due to the state’s reluctance to spend the money necessary to reconstruct the parkway, which was one of the most dangerous roads in the NPS road system.[20] In 1968, the State Roads Commission proposed to the FHWA that the parkway be included in the Interstate Highway System and designated Interstate 295. The designation was granted in 1969, but later withdrawn from all except the current portion signed as I-295 due to lack of funds available to modernize the route.[21] As a result of the withdrawal of the Interstate designation, the parkway remained an unnumbered road south of I-695 while the portion north of there became a part of Maryland Route 3 by 1975.[16] Despite this setback, however, plans still existed to widen the parkway to six or even eight lanes, but despite the 1970 Federal Highway Act’s appropriation of $65 million for this purpose, funding was insufficient to execute these projects. The cancellation of the North Central Freeway and the Northeast Freeway (I-95’s routing between New York Avenue and the College Park Interchange) offered a chance for modernization, as plans existed to route I-95 via the B–W Parkway; however, this came to naught and trucks were eventually banned from the parkway again.[22][23] By 1973, Maryland Route 3 was designated along the Baltimore-Washington Expressway between I-695 and Monroe Street Construction Construction on the northern portion of the highway was begun in 1947 by the state of Maryland, with the NPS segment being started three years later in 1950.[14] The land for the portion that was to be built by the NPS was acquired at the same time the land for Greenbelt Park.[15] The state-maintained portion was completed in December 1950 between Maryland Route 46 (now I-195) and Hollins Ferry Road at the Baltimore city line and in 1952 from MD 175 to MD 46. The portion of the parkway within the city of Baltimore opened in 1951 while the NPS-maintained portion opened in October 1954.[9] The portion of the road not maintained by the NPS was known as the Baltimore–Washington Expressway while the section maintained by the NPS was called the Baltimore–Washington Parkway.[16] 5 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia in Baltimore.[24] Maryland Route 295 was designated along the state-maintained portions of the expressway, replacing the MD 3 designation between I-695 and Monroe Street, by 1981.[25] By the 1990s, the portion of the road known as the Baltimore-Washington Expressway became known as the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.[26] (Greenbelt lanes.[33] Baltimore–Washington Parkway Road) onto the northbound Future In 2004, Maryland Governor Robert L. Ehrlich announced plans to widen portions of MD 295 near Baltimore-Washington International Airport.[34] The MDSHA is in the process of widening the parkway from four lanes to six lanes from I-195 north to I-695. Construction on the $12.4 million project, which began in late 2008, is expected to be completed in the later part of 2011.[35] The widening will make use of the median, with the extra travel lanes added to the inside of each carriageway.[36] In addition, MD 295 is planned to be widened to six lanes between MD 100 and I-195 and a new interchange is planned to be constructed at Hanover Road, the type of which has not yet been decided upon with choices including a diamond interchange, a single-point urban interchange, and a modified cloverleaf interchange. The project, costing $24 million, is still in the planning stages, which is expected to conclude in 2011.[37] Dedications The NPS-maintained section of the Baltimore–Washington Parkway has been named in honor of Gladys Noon Spellman, a congresswoman who represented Maryland’s 5th congressional district from January 3, 1975 to January 3, 1981. She was an educator in Prince George’s County and chairperson of the National Mental Health Study Center before becoming the first woman to serve on the county’s Board of Commissioners. She suffered a heart attack that ended her congressional career on October 13, 1980, leaving her in a coma until her death on June 19, 1988.[27] On May 9, 1991, the BaltimoreWashington Parkway was listed on the National Register of Historical Places.[13] Modernization In the mid-1980, the National Park Service, along with the Federal Highway Consturction, began a reconstruction of the NPS segment to modernize the road, including the improvement of several interchanges.[28][29] Around 2002, the federal government completed the project with the reconstruction of the MD 197 interchange.[28][30] Exit list References [1] ^ Maryland State Highway Administration (2007).

The incident was blamed on faulty scaffolding used to support the uncompleted span.[31] On July 9, 2005, a sinkhole opened beneath the parkway at a construction site, leading to the complete closure of the northbound roadway. The sinkhole was filled with concrete to shore up the roadbed and prevent further collapse; the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers attempted to expedite repairs, but the route remained closed until the next day.[32] On August 24, 2007, both directions of the parkway were closed when chunks of concrete fell from the overpass at MD 193 6 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia County Prince George’s Location Mile [1][2][3][4] Baltimore–Washington Parkway Notes Destinations US 50 (John Hanson Highway) / MD 201 south to I-295 - Washington, Annapolis, Richmond MD 201 north (Kenilworth Avenue) MD 202 (Landover Road) – Cheverly, Bladensburg MD 450 (Annapolis Road) – Bladensburg, Annapolis MD 410 (Riverdale Road) – Hyattsville, New Carrollton I-95 / I-495 (Capital Beltway) – Baltimore, Richmond MD 193 (Greenbelt Road) – Greenbelt, NASA Goddard Goddard Space Flight Center (employees only) Powder Mill Road Beltsville MD 197 (Laurel Bowie Road) – Laurel, Bowie 0.00 0.79 Bladensburg 1.65 1.97 Northbound exit, southbound entrance 3.63 Greenbelt Park Greenbelt 5.99 6.36 7.53 Beltsville ARC 9.65 11.51 7 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Anne Arundel 14.86 Baltimore–Washington Parkway MD 198 (Laurel Ft.
