Interstate 795 (Maryland)

Interstate 795 (I-795), also known as the Northwest Expressway, is a nine-mile (14 km) freeway linking Baltimore's northwestern suburbs of Pikesville, Owings Mills and Reisterstown, Maryland to the Baltimore Beltway (Interstate 695). The route bypasses Maryland Route 140 (MD 140), Reisterstown Road), carrying part of the Baltimore Metro Subway in its median for a four-mile stretch, and provides direct access to Owings Mills Mall. It never connects to its parent, I-95, except via I-695.

Route description

I-795 begins in Pikesville at a directional T interchange with I-695 (Baltimore Beltway), which heads south toward Glen Burnie and east toward Towson. I-695 provides access to I-95 in the directions of Washington and New York and to highways into Baltimore. Immediately to the east of the interchange is the Old Court station of the Baltimore Metro Subway, which passes through the interchange and settles into the median of the six-lane freeway as they cross Gwynns Falls. I-795 parallels and has two crossings of CSX Transportation's Hanover Subdivision as the freeway and transit line head northwest. The subway line ends just north of its and the highway's second crossing of Gwynns Falls at the terminal Owings Mills station.

Interstate 795

Interstate 795 is the designation for several Interstate Highways in the United States, all related to Interstate 95:

Interstate 795 (North Carolina)

Interstate 795 (I-795) is an Interstate Highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. It runs 24 miles (39 km) from US 70 in Goldsboro to Interstate 95 south of Wilson. Interstate 795 is mainly a rural route connecting I-95 and Goldsboro paralleling US 117 the entire way. The road runs a short 5 mile concurrency with US 264 in the last section of the route.

Interstate 795 began in 2007 as a renumbering of the US 117 freeway. Since oversized trucks couldn't use US 117 the state decided to get the road approved for Interstate designation. On September 28, 2007 AASHTO decided to approve the I-795 designation. The state quickly began to renumber mile posts, update signs and move US 117 back to its original designation. In 2008 major flaws in the surface of the highway began to develop. The thin road surface had begun to deteriorate mainly because of heavy truck use. The pavement was found to have flaws along the entire route and the FHWA decided that the highway should be resurfaced adding an extra 2.5 to 3 inches to the surface. The project of resurfacing the road was completed in 2010 and was later awarded the Sheldon G. Hayes Award for the best highway construction project and the smoothest road of 2011.

Florida State Road 9B

State Road 9B (SR 9B) is a 3.0-mile-long (4.8 km) freeway on the south side of Jacksonville, Florida in the United States. Its north end is at the southeast-most point on I-295, and it currently terminates at U.S. Highway 1 (US 1) south of Jacksonville. An extension, extending the freeway to 7.5 miles (12.1 km), is under construction to connect to I-95 (unsigned SR 9), and may continue south to serve planned development and possibly extend west as a planned bridge over the St. Johns River (which will connect to SR 23).

The section north of I-95 will be signed as Interstate 795 (I-795) when it is completed.

Route description

Beginning at the I-295 interchange in southeastern Duval, the first phase of State Road 9B extends three miles (4.8 km) due south towards US 1 at Gran Bay Parkway. This segment initially opened with four lanes, but due to a late contract modification, can easily expand to six lanes. At US 1, exit ramps connect the roads with signalized intersections.
