====BaltimoreāHarrisburg Expressway==== [[File:2019-07-17 12 51 13 View north along Interstate 83 (Baltimore-Harrisburg Expressway) from the overpass for westbound Maryland State Route 943 (West Warren Road) in Cockeysville, Baltimore County, Maryland.jpg|left|thumb|I-83 northbound at Warren Road in Cockeysville, Maryland]] After separating from the beltway, I-83 is now known as the '''BaltimoreāHarrisburg Expressway'''. Running due north away from the beltway, the route parallels [[Maryland Route 45|MD 45]] (York Road), the former route of [[U.S. Route 111|US 111]]. Passing to the west of [[Timonium, Maryland|Timonium]] and [[Cockeysville, Maryland|Cockeysville]], I-83 leaves the suburban belt around Baltimore and enters rural Baltimore County just north of [[Hunt Valley, Maryland|Hunt Valley]] at [[Shawan Road]]. I-83 and MD 45 continue to parallel one another through the northern portion of the county, with MD 45 crossing over I-83 once, at an interchange. This segment of I-83 has several sections with higher than usual gradients. The only major settlement encountered by I-83 along this stretch is [[Monkton, Maryland|Monkton]], reached via [[Maryland Route 137|MD 137]]. To the west of I-83, MD 137 connects with the northern terminus of MD 25, I-83's former companion to the south. The Interstate eventually crosses the [[MasonāDixon line]] into [[York County, Pennsylvania]], {{convert|25|mi|km}} north of Baltimore, mere feet from a partial interchange with [[Freeland Road]] and parallel with MD 45; the latter route becomes the [[Susquehanna Trail]] when it reaches Pennsylvania.
