The '''Harbor Tunnel Thruway''', signed as '''Interstate 895''', is a 17-mile long [[expressway]] that serves as a bypass of [[Baltimore, Maryland]]. It crosses under Baltimore Harbor via the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel, and a $2 toll is charged for using the tunnel. There are no exits available before paying the toll (hence the "No Exit Before Toll" warning attached to entrance signs), although two exits are available for southbound traffic. One exit allows motorists to access US 40 into downtown, while the other provides access to Bayview Hospital and other businesses in southeastern Baltimore. There's also a spur to the south for motorists who wish to go to [[Annapolis]] via [[Interstate 97]]. Its original termini were at [[U.S. Highway 40|US 40]] to the northeast and [[US 1]] to the southwest. When [[Interstate 95]] was opened southwest of Baltimore and along the city's eastern boundary, the Thruway was extended accordingly. It wasn't until [[1985]] that the Thruway received an Interstate designation. In that year, the Fort McHenry Tunnel opened as the newest crossing under Baltimore Harbor. In addition, the Fort McHenry Tunnel was the final link of I-95 in Maryland. By comparison, the Harbor Tunnel, opened in [[1957]], is the oldest of the three Harbor crossings (the Key Bridge, opened in [[1977]], is the third, and it carries the [[Interstate 695 (Maryland)|Interstate 695]] Beltway across the harbor). Today, the Harbor Tunnel Thruway is designated as [[Interstate 895]].
