Crossing the Highway to Nowhere walking tour

Crossing the Highway to Nowhere walking tour

As part of Graham Coreil-Allen's SITELINES show presented by ICA Baltimore and Current Space, this walking tour explores interchanging embankments around The Highway to Nowhere while boldly crossing where many have walked before.

The tour meets 2pm at Current Space and from there will head down Franklin Street towards the beginning of the Highway to Nowhere, aka Route 40. Among brutalist piers and pastoral landscaping, we will experience moments of Seclusion Acres, Territorial Reinforcement and Median Refuge. Along the way we will learn how people currently use this highly public yet overlooked space and the history behind how residents blocked the planned extension of this highway through the rest of Baltimore.

This tour is free and open to the public. We will walk for approximately 60 minutes at a moderate pace. Voluntary physical activities including stepping over obstacles such as jersey barriers. Be prepared to cross the Highway to Nowhere.
