5-2-2007:
New article "Baltimore City Interstates - Cancellations". The information is per a review of a personal folder of MDOT SHA information about the Baltimore Interstate highway system, that contains various materials dating from 1977 to 1985. This pins down the cancellation dates for segments of I-70, I-170 and I-83. While these materials don't have the exact dates, they do pin it down at least to the year. The final cost estimates and the reasons for the cancellations are of interest also.

Updates to article "I-70, I-170, I-95, I-395, I-83 Interchanges". These maps show plan views of the unbuilt interchanges of I-95/I-70 and I-70/I-170 in West Baltimore, the interchange of I-95/I-395 near downtown Baltimore, and the unbuilt interchange of I-95/I-83 in East Baltimore. These are high-capacity semi-directional freeway-to-freeway interchanges. This update added information and maps about the I-95/I-83 interchange, and has a plan view of the last proposed design in 1976. Another new map shows of the eastern part of the Baltimore 3-A Interstate and Boulevard System, with the the proposed 3-A system design as of December 1970, and this includes the I-95 high-level double-decked harbor bridge near Fort McHenry, the I-83 elevated freeway in the northern part of the Fells Point neighborhood, and an earlier design of the I-95/I-83 interchange.
