I-95 North: Baltimore, Maryland

[GigaElectricBird]

I'll upload a video of Downtown Baltimore. Including the tunnel.

[GigaElectricBird]

@Freewayjim Thanks for letting me know. Sorry it wasn't a reply. I'm using my iPhone to comment on videos. My sisters won't get out cause they're being teenagers.

[Freewayjim]

@GigaElectricBird Anytime :)

[GigaElectricBird]

How many more miles does I-70 need to complete the highway?

[Freewayjim]

@GigaElectricBird About 5-7 miles and it was to have merged with I-95, there are stub ramps still visible where this was to happen around Exit 51, there are maps of the proposed route on the roads tot he future .com website.

[GigaElectricBird]

How high is I-95 from the ground?

[Freewayjim]

@GigaElectricBird at what particular spot? across the inner branch of the harbor I'm guessing about 40 feet.

[GigaElectricBird]

@Freewayjim from exit 51 to 55 before it goes to the tunnel. Also 56 to 59

[Freewayjim]

@GigaElectricBird Yeah from 51-55 looks about 30-40 feet from the ground over the water, not sure about 56-59 it varies, could be from 30 to 60 feet in places.

[GigaElectricBird]

@Freewayjim Agreed. I do know that 55-56 is the tunnel. Yeah, it moves in several elevations. :)

[awz121]

if they had finished 70 there would of been 5 interstates meet/end at 95 in the matter of 7 miles!

[GigaElectricBird]

@awz121 agreed

[BigBen12120]

LOL i just noticed most of the eastern us has same exact scenery

[refresh967]

i95 and Katy Freeway(i10) are my favorite freeways.

[8HighlyFavored]

Everytime I drive back home to NYC. Through VA, I always play "The O'Jays" I love Music. Glad to see you did as well.=)!

[Freewayjim]

@8HighlyFavored: Love that song!

[59525354]

is there another video with this music?

[Freewayjim]

@59525354: Yes, I-664 to I-64 in the Hampton Roads area.

[wooga78]

Were will u have lunch at?

[Freewayjim]

We ate lunch at Al's Seafood in Essex, it was good too.

[Fanik8]

Freeway Jim. Did u know if your traveling in an RV on I-95 N or S you must take I-695 around the city? Reason being, they won't allow propane tanks through the Ft. McHenry tunnel. Oh and BTW I was in the Balt-Wash area last week.

[Freewayjim]

That makes perfect sense.

[trashdunka99]

when i drove up to nyc with my family we still used the old ramp to get on I-95 north from the inner loop. glad to see the new ramps in use

[cunningpal]

Great Video. I'd like to suggest you make the comments and location banner at the bottom in colors which blend in better. How about medium grey for the background and green for the letters.

[Freewayjim]

I don't want the text banners to blend in better, I want them to stand out so people can read it and I don't think Med grey and green letters would look good at all.

Any mid to dark color with white lettering works fine, I used the purple band as it is the Baltimore Ravens primary color.

[slapmynutsvince]

@Freewayjim Lord help you if you're a Ravens fan! lol

[Freewayjim]

Nah Patriots fan.

[Freewayjim]

Sorry but I forgot to mention that I do appreciate the thought and I did play around with your suggestion, I just did not like the grey-green combo, but I did like yellow on grey so I might use that at some point.

I will agree that the purple may not look as good as some other colors, I think Green works the best but I try to change up the colors for each video.

[ScrewdUpClick2000]

msuci is throwed .. you could use it 100x and its still be good

[1petealmquist1]

this is the 3rd time you used this song. It is cool.

[Freewayjim]

Yes it is, and it works well every time. Plan on hearing it again next year :)

[ScrewdUpClick2000]

that was a realy impressive ride.. love the tunnel , and the fact that mdot built a stack interchange completly over water .. that has to be a first that i ever seen , thanx for sharing this with us .. 5 stars

[aswchris]

The Benelux Tunnel in Rotterdam, the Netherlands has 10 lanes and passes under the port of Rotterdam. It's a little shorter though.

[FreewayBrent]

Awesomeness! :-)

[2004JETTA]

God I LOVE that song keep it up 5*

[Freewayjim]

It takes a while for YouTube to fully process the video, see green bar above.

[Bbgunn325]

If you keep taking 95 N, would you mind stopping at Maryland House and get me something from Roy Rogers? LOL.

[Freewayjim]

They have a Phillips Express now, gotta love Crab Cakes.

[NYGiantsFan845]

thats wierd i didn't know the i-95 north freeway signs around Baltimore say New York, i expected it to say Phillidelphia

[Freewayjim]

You would think, or at the very least Wilmington.

[JustinDTran]

@NYGiantsFan845 I think they have the control city set as New York on I-95 in Baltimore for the tourists and travellers travelling from points south. People from points south are most likely going to go on vacation in New York than Philadelphia, and of course, boring 'ol Wilmington.

[NYGiantsFan845]

they sign should read

I-95 North "Philadelphia - New York"

[JustinDTran]

I think signs here are limited to only one control city, although they do have a sign somewhere on the northbound side of 95 between Washington and Baltimore that says "Phila. - New York" and also says that you can use either the Fort McHenry Tunnel or the Harbor Tunnel. I'm pretty sure of it, I just travelled this stretch on my way up to New York on Sunday.

[bbukfan]

@JustinDTran Also, you can't take 95 directly from Philadelphia to New York City, something that may play an issue.

[asvb232]

@bbukfan yeah you can.

[fldoughboy72]

Great song..Did you do this one before?

I never been to Baltimore.

[Freewayjim]

I've used the song before, yes and there should be a couple of other Baltimore videos in my collection as well.

[Bryant5493]

Nice driving, man, along with that "funky, funky music." ;-D

[Bryant5493]

This song never gets old. I'll comment later on the video, when the HD kicks in.

[Freewayjim]

That's one of my favorite songs and I think it ideal for these types of video.

[buddybuddy0920]

I have been waiting for this video for some time. I love Baltimore. Plus, I got the first view!
