I-595(unsigned, E-W)/US 50(E-W)/US 301(N-S) Triplex

The I-595/US 50 and US 50/US 301 duplexes overlap for 11.9 miles from Bowie to Annapolis in Prince George's and Anne Arundel Counties. The easternmost 1.4 miles of the triplex are joined by Maryland Route 2 in the I-595/US 50/US 301/MD 2 quadruplex.

US 301 joins onto the I-595/US 50 duplex where MD 3 ends. This is the view southbound at the end of MD 3.

Timothy Reichard 9/8/02

The interchange marks Exit 13 of I-595 and thus 13 miles of I-595/US 50 go toward Washington, DC, before meeting teh Capitol Beltway, I-95/I-495. I-595 is completed unsigned to avoid too many concurrent route numbers to the east, so here US 50 west does not appear to be a duplex.

Now facing north on US 301, MD 3 begins as US 301 exits onto I-595/US 50.

The interchange was rebuilt in the early 1990s from a cloverleaf interchange to one with a flyover ramp.

The first reassurance shields for US 50/US 301 heading east.

The next exit is to MD 424, which connects MD 2 and MD 3. US 50/US 301 crosses the Chesapeake Bay a few miles past Annapolis.

Timothy Reichard 9/8/02

Another pair of reassurance shields, which are found plentifully on this highway, but always without an I-595 shield.

The next two exists are preludes to Annapolis. I-97 was built to connect Baltimore to Annapolis, and MD 665 is a partial bypass on the west side of Annapolis.

Timothy Reichard 9/8/02

The 48 states' shortest two-digit interstate begins here.

Timothy Reichard 9/8/02

Next, MD 665 exits toward MD 2 and western Annapolis. MD 2 soon joins the I-595/US 50/US 301 triplex for Maryland's only quadruply numbered highway, but only two numbers are signed there.

Timothy Reichard 9/8/02

One more shot of the beginning of MD 665. The ramps from I-97 join MD 665 first. Here MD 665 splits, giving traffic a chance to return to or enter I-595/US 50/US 301.

Timothy Reichard 9/8/02

The last exit before MD 2 joins is for MD 450, which leads to both MD 178 and MD 2 south. This is the exit to MD 2 south, as there is no direct interchange in this direction.

For the rest of I-595/US 50/US 301 east, see the I-595/US 50/US 301/MD 2 page.
