The HarborTunnel Thruway, signed as Interstate 895, is a 17-mile long expressway that serves as a bypass of Baltimore, Maryland.
It crosses under BaltimoreHarbor via the BaltimoreHarborTunnel, and a $2 toll is charged for using the tunnel.
By comparison, the HarborTunnel, 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 Beltway across the harbor).
