Interstate 97

Interstate 97 (abbreviated I-97) is an intrastate Interstate highway located entirely within Anne Arundel County, Maryland, United States. It runs from Annapolis at the US 50/US 301/unsigned I-595 overlap to Baltimore at I-695. Originally, Maryland Route 3, which runs from Bowie to Maryland Route 32, was going to be Interstate 297, but the proposed route was canceled due to local opposition. I-97 was completed in 1993 and is currently the shortest two-digit interstate highway.
