Interstate 95

Interstate 95 (I-95) is the main highway on the East Coast of the United States, running parallel to the Atlantic Ocean seaboard serving areas between Florida and New England inclusive. In general, I-95 serves major cities such as New York, Philadelphia and Washington D.C. in the north and beach areas like the Outer Banks and Miami Beach in the south. The route notably bypasses the major cities of Boston, Raleigh, and Charleston which require connections through other Interstate highways. While I-95 is one of the oldest routes of the Interstate Highway System, its completion is still dependent on a project that is scheduled to be completed by 2018. Meanwhile, its role in that region has been fulfilled by an unsigned portion of the New Jersey Turnpike that is suggested by signage near Wilmington, DE. Many sections of I-95 incorporated pre-existing sections of toll roads where they served the same right of way.

I-95's two pieces total 1,925 mi (3,098 km). The southern terminus of I-95 is at U.S. Route 1 in southern Miami, Florida while the northern terminus is at the Houlton/Woodstock Border Crossing. I-95 is the sixth longest Interstate Highway after Interstate 10 (2,460 mi (3,959 km), Interstate 40 (2,555 mi (4,112 km), Interstate 70 (2,153 mi (3,465 km), Interstate 80 (2,899 mi (4,665 km), and Interstate 90 (3,099 mi (4,987 km). I-95 passes through more states than any other Interstate highway. At fifteen states, that number is followed by thirteen states crossed by Interstate 90. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, only five counties along the route are completely rural, while statistics provided by the I-95 Corridor Coalition suggest that the region served is "over three times more densely populated than the U.S. average and as densely settled as much of Western Europe".
