Major Projects
 The project is located between the I-270 corridor at I-370 near Shady Grove in central Montgomery County and the I-95/US-1 corridors near Laurel in northwestern Prince George's County (a distance of approximately 17 miles). Total cost of the project is approximately $ 2.45 billion. The Project will be funded with a combination of funds that include GARVEE Bonds, Maryland Transportation Authority (MdTA) Bonds, Maryland State general and transportation trust funds and special federal funs. The Intercounty Connector will relieve traffic congestion on some of the most congested roads in the study area. It will link the high-tech area in Montgomery County's I-270 corridor to the Baltimore-Washington I-95 corridor. This link will power Maryland's economy by making desirable job opportunities more accessible to ordinary citizens and skilled employees more available to Maryland's high-tech businesses. The ICC also will be key to homeland security by providing a new route in case there needs to be an evacuation of part of metropolitan Washington.

 The project replaces the existing six-laneWoodrow Wilson Bridge on I-95 where it crosses the Potomac River, which forms the state line between Maryland and Virginia. The new bridge will be a new 12-lane double structure, including auxiliary and HOV lanes, and will include rehabilitation of adjacent interchanges in Maryland (MD-210 and I-295) and in Virginia (US-1 and Telegraph Road). Construction began in October 2000 and is continuing, with a target completion date of 2011. Total cost of the project is $2.444 billion, with federal-aid funds totaling $1.613 billion.

 This project will add a fifth lane along I-95 in Delaware in the Northbound and Southbound directions for all vehicle use. This work is part of a multi-year, multi-project Turnpike Improvement Program that has included work at the Churchman's Road/SR 7 Intersection and the Churchman's Road Bridge over I-95; and will also include the upcoming work at the SR1/I-95 Mall Interchange.
