Question Baltimore Harbor Tunnel (I-895)

Can I get any info on driving a Class C through the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel?
If I am correct, its a 2 lane each way with a 13'-6" height restriction. Can anyone confirm that I should be OK or is it best to just stay on I-95?
Thanks

The Harbor Tunnel has a reputation for being extremely strick on propane tanks on RV's. Because of that, most people take the bridge as a bypass.

That would be the Francis Scott Key bridge on I695 east.

There's a toll for that bridge.

I695 west has no tolls, but is a bit longer.

Both tunnels in Baltimore prohibit propane.

I 695 West is only 3 or 4 miles longer.

Thanks
I had not looked south far enough on the map.
Much easier and less hassle using a bridge that the tunnel.

I always use I-695 west around Baltimore. It's a good road when it's not crowded. but like Washington, you have to time your arrival so it's not at rush hours.
