Shoplifting Tags Force Fort McHenry Tunnel Closure (11/8/04 - Baltimore)
POSTED: 10:16 am EST November 8, 2004 UPDATED: 11:49 am EST November 8, 2004 BALTIMORE -- Interstate 95 at the Fort McHenry Tunnel is slowly reopening after being shut down due to police activity inside the tunnel.
Maryland Transportation Authority spokeswoman Katie Leahan said I-95 is being reopened to traffic in both directions at the tunnel.
She said the interstate was closed as a precaution after a small, suspicious, package was found on a Keith Avenue ramp over the north entrance to the tunnel. The bag contained shoplifting security tags and batteries, which made the bag chirp when it was approached.
She said the Baltimore Police Bomb Squad examined the package and detonated it at the scene with a water cannon.
