The Jones Falls Expressway, known to local residents as the "JFX", is a 10.2-mile (16.32-km) long freeway that carries Interstate 83 from downtown Baltimore to the northern suburbs. It is the area's true north-south artery, because Interstate 95 runs mostly east-west through much of the city. Its southern terminus is at Fayette Street, and its northern terminus is at MD 25, just north of the Baltimore Beltway (I-695). Inside Baltimore, the road is maintained not by the Maryland State Highway Administration, which controls most freeways in the state, but by the city's Department of Transportation.
