  • It shoulda been built
  • looks like it would have made sense...
  • Even if they did not connect it to I95, they shouldve at least built it further towards downtown to relieve traffic pressures on the west side. I've been there a few times during rushes on the west side in my life and it was always a nightmare!
  • we can thank our current Senator Barbara Mikulski. When she was a local pol, she killed the plan.
  • This would have ruined leakin park forever
  • We should all be thankful I-70 was never completed. It would have completely destroyed a number of Baltimore neighborhoods including Fells Point.
  • Wait, how would it have destroyed Fells Point? It's no where near the proposed link up area???
  • This is not what the original plan was. At all. Hence the other gaping hole a mile east where they started building in the middle of established neighborhoods. Good try though.
