Baltimore oversize routing.....

Unfortunately that's about the best idea. You'll hit a little traffic and go a little further but avoid downtown. It was hard enough in a 130k crane with rear steer! You didn't by chance pick up at Coastal Crane did you?

 

The Fort McHenry Tunnel is a set of tubes built into a web frame of steel skeleton around it like a honeycomb every 60 feet or so roughly. Boxed up, barged to spot and sunk, then drained, welded into place and tiled, paved etc. When you pass through in that tunnel tube you probably are traveling through a web of steel frame filled with water and secured by large boulders against the sea. 150K is a serious amount of weight. Most of it or all of it is sunk into the bed at the bottom of the water to allow ships to pass over.

I don't know what Md2 looks like today, but in my time it's horrendous. Glen Bernie comes to mind.

I do hope that you get the route you like. Or one that does well.

 

So how'd you make out? Your not still in Baltimore are ya'?! Lol

 

He's probably trying to squeak past City Hall somewhere downtown looking to get on Monument. LOLZ.

I hate to be teasing. I am also very interested in knowing how this trip is going.

 

Monument leaves I-83 Falls Road past the Twisties and runs East past Johns Hopkins Hospital (Quiet, no horn, no engine brake etc) and follows along say US 40 Orleans across the city.

US 40 eventually works NE out to Erdman Ave at the City Line and then past the 695-95 spaghetti out towards Aberdeen.

City hall isnt too much further south on 83 where it ends next to it near the Block.

One final thought. I would not use 40 downtown in the core. If I remember right, there was or used to be a viaduct system that it might be built on in some point down that way. I don't know if you can put 150K against it. It's mostly wrought iron and riveted technology from about 100 years ago.

 

YAY!

You took 95 straight down then off 695? Possibly across the WW?

One more question, how did you like that Catonsville downgrade prior to 95? Below 70?

 

Good deal!! Figured that would be the easiest way around for you. Thru town with a permit is doable but a royal pain!!
