That's the I370 bridge. Note the traffic congestion on the opposite side of the road. Very rarely does I270 clog up like that at the time this photo was taken (shortly after 7 PM). Expect I270 southbound to be like that between
6-10 AM, and I270 northbound to be like that starting about 3 PM, and lasting until about 6 or 7.

Nearing exits 10 and 11. Note the HOV lane is active between 3:30 PM and 6:30 PM on weekdays. You'll get a hefty fine if you are riding in it alone during those times.

Exit 16 is for Route 27 and Father Hurly Boulevard. If you head up Route 27 north, that will take you to Damascus.

This is where the road divides between US 15 and I70. I70 west will take you to Hagerstown, while eastbound will get you to Baltimore. Keep going straight on US15 north and you're headed for the Pennsylvania border.
