I drove over this bridge one time the day after a storm blew through, and the winds were blowing a steady 30 mph. White caps in the water and the whole 9 yards- THAT was scary.
Cool video. Makes me miss Baltimore. I spent the first few years of my life there and used to go there every summer after. Haven't been there in a few years though.
Cool video, I grew up in the suburbs of Baltimore but never went over the Key Bridge. I'd kinda like to just to see the view but I think the toll would keep me from doing that.
@JinnDerringer Tell me about it. I drove down to Tennessee where doing 70 in a 65 is considered fast, then I get back to Baltimore and people are doing 75 on the Beltway -.-
its true, they are building them, and yea it is bull crap, we dont want to pay anymore tolls here, these things are huge like that have out in Cali, its something like you would see in LA
Actually they are Express Toll Lanes. The difference between HOT and ETL is that HOV's still have to pay to use them. They are currently under construction between White Marsh and I-895
Although I am from Maryland (DC suburban), I never had a reason to take this route. I had a feeling that 695 would only be 2 lanes as there isn't that much development on that side of Baltimore. This may be the only circumferential highway on the East Coast (DC 495) / (Philly 476) / (NY 287) / (Boston 128-95) where the main throughway is 2 lanes...
Looks like this is what I need to start doing to. Showing the people whom like to travel what the places look like. From the freeway of course. I like it very much :)
Thanks for a fun video and awesome song! I did my pre-med at UMBC and was just back for my bro's wedding in August. Yup, we took the East Beltway (my wife is from MN and had only been to Baltimore area with me a couple times before). "Dim" was one of my favorite tunes in '95.

It's a neat ride on that side of town and worth the $2 toll.

Did you know there going to be future HOT (high occupancy toll) on the Interstate 495 and 695 beltways?

I-95 Toll lanes in Baltimore are under construction as I write this and you'll see it in an upcoming video. I was not aware of any planned for I-695.

AWESOME VIDEO! I drove the Key Bridge this summer going from NY to VA and loved it! You really feel like you're high above Baltimore Harbor. ;)
Thanks Freewayjim!

By way, Freewayjim, please use 'e-zpass' next time you go through the northeast tolls lol.
