Great News! : ICC SET TO OPEN TO I-95 NOVEMBER 22

The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) announced that the State will open the next 10.35 miles of Maryland’s Intercounty Connector (ICC)/MD 200 by 6 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2011. With this opening, the ICC will connect Montgomery and Prince George’s counties from I-270/I-370 at Shady Grove to I-95 at Laurel.

I am hoping to use this road to go to BWi and to College Park. I am not sure which exit will be the best to go to UMD College Park . 

Dateline for the ICC Opening:

• Tuesday, Nov. 22, by 6:00 a.m.: ICC opens to I-95 (weather permitting).
• Tuesday, Nov. 22 – Sunday, Dec. 4 at midnight: Test-drive period -- no tolls will be collected on the entire roadway from I-370 to I-95.
• Monday, Dec. 5, 12:01 a.m.: Toll collection begins on the entire roadway from I-370 to I-95.

To travel the entire ICC one way between I-95 and I-370, drivers of cars and light trucks with E-ZPass will pay $4 in Peak hours, $3.20 Off-peak and $1.60 Overnight
