    So, entering the tunnel there are signs that say vehicles over 5t GVWR use 2 right lanes.

    Does this mean use the right lane in each of the two bores, or use the 2 lanes in the right-most bore?

    That is the old Baltimore Harbor Tunnel.
    The Fort McHenry Tunnel is the main one used by trucks, on I-95. Just trying to keep straight about which one is being discussed, here.

    You might not want to use the BHT even if you are 96" for the next few months. There is some major construction happening there.

    'Use 2 right lanes' means to ride the zipper - thus, occupying both lanes.

    Personally, I find it much easier than trying to stay in a single lane.
