Interstate 795 (I-795), also known as the Northwest Expressway, is a nine-mile (14 km) freeway linking Baltimore's northwestern suburbs of Pikesville, Owings Mills and Reisterstown, Maryland to the Baltimore Beltway (Interstate 695). The route bypasses Maryland Route 140 (MD 140, Reisterstown Road), carrying part of the Baltimore Metro Subway in its median for a four-mile stretch, and provides direct access to Owings Mills Mall. It never connects to its parent, I-95, except via I-695.
I-795 begins in Pikesville at a directional T interchange with I-695 (Baltimore Beltway), which heads south toward Glen Burnie and east toward Towson. I-695 provides access to I-95 in the directions of Washington and New York and to highways into Baltimore. Immediately to the east of the interchange is the Old Court station of the Baltimore Metro Subway, which passes through the interchange and settles into the median of the six-lane freeway as they cross Gwynns Falls. I-795 parallels and has two crossings of CSX Transportation's Hanover Subdivision as the freeway and transit line head northwest. The subway line ends just north of its and the highway's second crossing of Gwynns Falls at the terminal Owings Mills station.
