Its southern terminus is at a signalized intersection with [[Fayette Street]] in [[Baltimore|Baltimore, Maryland]]; its northern terminus is at [[Interstate 81|I-81]] near [[Harrisburg, Pennsylvania]]. I-83 runs from [[Downtown Baltimore]] north to [[Interstate 695 (Maryland)|I-695]] near the northern suburb of [[Timonium, Maryland|Timonium]] on the '''Jones Falls Expressway''' before forming a [[concurrency (road)|concurrency]] with I-695. After splitting from I-695, the route follows the '''Baltimore–Harrisburg Expressway''' north to the border between Maryland and Pennsylvania. Upon crossing the state line, I-83 becomes the '''Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States Memorial Highway''' and continues north through [[York, Pennsylvania|York]] toward the Harrisburg area. The route runs along the southern and eastern portion of the [[Capital Beltway (Harrisburg)|Capital Beltway]] that encircles Harrisburg before reaching its northern terminus. Most of the route south of [[Lemoyne, Pennsylvania]], is a direct replacement of [[U.S. Route 111]] (US 111), a former spur of [[U.S. Route 11|US 11]].
