The route bypasses the cores of major coastal cities [[Brunswick, Georgia|Brunswick]] and [[Savannah, Georgia|Savannah]], routing traffic through the western sides of both cities' metro areas; it connects to the latter city by an intersection with [[Interstate 16|I-16]] before crossing into South Carolina. The exit numbers were converted from a [[Sequential exit numbering|sequential system]] to a [[Mileage-based exit numbering|mileage-based system]] around 2000. I-95 in Georgia has the [[Unsigned highway|unsigned designation]] of [[Georgia State Route 405|State Route 405]] (SR 405).<ref>{{cite web |date=June 12, 2003 |url=http://www.dot.state.ga.us/specialsubjects/newexitno/index.shtml |title=Georgia's Interstate Exit Numbers |publisher=Georgia Department of Transportation |access-date=April 30, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040215025749/http://www.dot.state.ga.us/specialsubjects/newexitno/index.shtml |archive-date=February 15, 2004 }}</ref> ==== South Carolina ==== <!-- keep short and sweet --> {{main|Interstate 95 in South Carolina}} Entering [[South Carolina]], I-95 diverts from its coastal route to a more inland route to the west. I-95 does not go near any major cities in South Carolina, with the largest city along its route being [[Florence, South Carolina|Florence]], the [[List of cities and towns in South Carolina|tenth largest in the state]]. The rest of South Carolina can be accessed via other Interstates that intersect I-95. It intersects [[Interstate 26|I-26]] near [[Harleyville, South Carolina|Harleyville]], which provides access to [[Charleston, South Carolina|Charleston]], [[Columbia, South Carolina|Columbia]], and [[Upstate South Carolina]]. It also intersects [[Interstate 20|I-20]] at Florence, which also connects to Columbia and then on to [[Atlanta, Georgia]]. At the North Carolina border, I-95 passes the [[South of the Border (attraction)|South of the Border]] [[roadside attraction]]. ==== North Carolina ==== <!-- keep short and sweet --> {{main|Interstate 95 in North Carolina}} In North Carolina, I-95 informally serves as the separation between the state's central [[piedmont (United States)|Piedmont]] and eastern [[Atlantic Plain]] regions. Much like its route in South Carolina, I-95 runs through mostly rural areas, avoiding major cities like [[Raleigh, North Carolina|Raleigh]] and [[Durham, North Carolina|Durham]]. The route intersects [[Interstate 74|I-74]] near [[Lumberton, North Carolina|Lumberton]], [[Interstate 40|I-40]] near [[Benson, North Carolina|Benson]], and [[Interstate 87 (North Carolina)|Future I-87]]/[[U.S. Route 64 in North Carolina|US 64]] near [[Rocky Mount, North Carolina|Rocky Mount]]. Several medium-sized cities lie along I-95 in North Carolina, including (from south to north) [[Fayetteville, North Carolina|Fayetteville]], [[Wilson, North Carolina|Wilson]], and Rocky Mount. At [[Gaston, North Carolina|Gaston]], I-95 crosses into Virginia. ===Mid-Atlantic region=== <!-- DC info goes this section--> {{For|the short portion of the Interstate in Washington, D.C.|Woodrow Wilson Bridge}} Much of I-95 in the Mid-Atlantic region is tolled, following the course of several turnpikes that predate the Interstate Highway System, as well as several other toll roads and toll bridges. ==== Virginia ==== <!-- keep short and sweet--> {{main|Interstate 95 in Virginia}} I-95 enters the [[Mid-Atlantic (United States)|Mid-Atlantic]] region in [[Virginia]] and travels through the center of the [[Northeast megalopolis|densest and most populous urban region in the US]]. I-95 travels northâsouth through Virginia, passing through [[Petersburg, Virginia|Petersburg]], and follows the [[RichmondâPetersburg Turnpike]] into downtown [[Richmond, Virginia|Richmond]] (where it is concurrent briefly with [[Interstate 64|I-64]]), and, from there, it turns northeast as it enters [[Northern Virginia]]. In the [[Washington metropolitan area]], it is concurrent with the [[Capital Beltway]] from the [[Springfield Interchange]] along with [[Interstate 495 (MarylandâVirginia)|I-495]], before passing through the southernmost corner of the District of Columbia for about {{convert|0.11|mi|km}} along the [[Woodrow Wilson Bridge]]<ref name="fhwa-facts-2">{{cite web |url=https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/national_highway_system/interstate_highway_system/routefinder/?redirect |title=Miscellaneous Interstate System Facts |publisher=Federal Highway Administration |date=April 6, 2011 |access-date=August 28, 2013 |archive-date=July 21, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130721170635/http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/reports/routefinder/#s11 |url-status=live }}</ref> before entering [[Maryland]] near [[National Harbor, Maryland]]. ==== Maryland ==== <!-- keep short and sweet--> {{main|Interstate 95 in Maryland }} {{see also|Capital Beltway}} In Maryland, I-95 goes northeast toward Baltimore, paralleling the older [[BaltimoreâWashington Parkway]]. I-95 uses the [[Fort McHenry Tunnel]] to travel under Baltimore's [[Inner Harbor]] and travels through northeast Maryland along the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway, crossing into Delaware near [[Elkton, Maryland|Elkton]]. ==== Delaware ==== <!-- keep short and sweet--> {{main|Interstate 95 in Delaware}} Entering Delaware at [[Newark, Delaware|Newark]], I-95 follows the [[Delaware Turnpike]] east across Delaware until the large and complex [[Interstate 495 (Delaware)|I-495]]/[[Interstate 295 (DelawareâPennsylvania)|I-295]]/[[U.S. Route 202|US 202]]/[[Delaware Route 141]] interchange near [[Newport, Delaware|Newport]] and turns northeast through [[Wilmington, Delaware|Wilmington]], skirting the west side of the downtown area before leaving Delaware in [[Claymont, Delaware|Claymont]] at the state's extreme northeastern corner. I-95 is the only two-digit interstate highway in Delaware, and it only passes through the [[Twelve-Mile Circle]], the northernmost part of the state. ==== Pennsylvania ==== <!-- keep short and sweet--> {{main|Interstate 95 in Pennsylvania}} Entering southeastern Pennsylvania near [[Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania|Marcus Hook]], I-95 crosses [[Delaware County, Pennsylvania|Delaware County]] and the city of [[Chester, Pennsylvania|Chester]], closely following the [[Delaware River]]. Entering [[Philadelphia]] near [[Philadelphia International Airport]], the freeway has an interchange with [[Interstate 76 (OhioâNew Jersey)|I-76]] before it follows a large viaduct along the extreme eastern edge of [[Center City, Philadelphia|Center City Philadelphia]]. Northeast of Philadelphia in [[Bucks County, Pennsylvania|Bucks County]], I-95 joins the [[Pennsylvania Turnpike]] near [[Bristol, Pennsylvania|Bristol]] before entering New Jersey on the [[Delaware RiverâTurnpike Toll Bridge]]. ==== New Jersey ==== <!-- keep short and sweet--> {{main|Interstate 95 in New Jersey}} {{see also|New Jersey Turnpike}} In New Jersey, I-95 follows the [[Pearl Harbor Memorial Turnpike Extension]] of the [[New Jersey Turnpike]], crossing the [[Delaware River]] on the [[Delaware RiverâTurnpike Toll Bridge]], joining the mainline turnpike at exit 6. I-95 has interchanges with [[Interstate 78|I-78]] in [[Newark, New Jersey|Newark]] and [[Interstate 80|I-80]] in southern [[Teaneck, New Jersey|Teaneck]]. At the end of the turnpike in [[Fort Lee, New Jersey|Fort Lee]], I-95 turns east along its own freeway alignment and connects to [[New York City]] (and crosses into New York state) over the [[Hudson River]] via the [[George Washington Bridge]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.state.nj.us/transportation/commuter/roads/I95-295/|title=I-95/I-295 Signing Redesignation Project Overview|publisher=New Jersey Department of Transportation|date=February 21, 2018|access-date=April 12, 2018|archive-date=April 23, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180423163815/http://www.state.nj.us/transportation/commuter/roads/I95-295/|url-status=live}}</ref> ==== New York ==== <!-- keep short and sweet--> {{main|Interstate 95 in New York}} I-95 in New York City comprises all or part of several named expressways, including the [[Trans-Manhattan Expressway|Trans-Manhattan]], [[Cross Bronx Expressway|Cross Bronx]], and [[Bruckner Expressway|Bruckner]] expressways, as it crosses east-northeast across the boroughs of [[Manhattan]] and [[the Bronx]].

In New Haven, it intersects with [[Interstate 91|I-91]] as it passes into the more rural areas of the [[Lower Connecticut River Valley]]. I-95 leaves the Connecticut Turnpike at [[Interstate 395 (ConnecticutâMassachusetts)|I-395]] at the [[East Lyme, Connecticut|East Lyme]]â[[Waterford, Connecticut|Waterford]] town line. I-95 next passes [[New London, Connecticut|New London]] and [[Groton, Connecticut|Groton]], before the route curves northeast and leaving its close connection to the coast. It leaves Connecticut in the town of [[North Stonington, Connecticut|North Stonington]]. ==== Rhode Island ==== <!-- keep short and sweet--> {{main|Interstate 95 in Rhode Island}} I-95 enters [[Rhode Island]] in the town of [[Hopkinton, Rhode Island|Hopkinton]] and connects the rural areas of the southwestern corner of the state with the more metropolitan region around the state capital, [[Providence, Rhode Island|Providence]], in the state's northeastern corner. It leaves Rhode Island in the city of [[Pawtucket, Rhode Island|Pawtucket]]. ==== Massachusetts ==== <!-- keep short and sweet--> {{main|Interstate 95 in Massachusetts }} Entering [[Massachusetts]] in [[Attleboro, Massachusetts|Attleboro]], I-95 heads northeast toward [[Boston]].

From Pennsylvania, I-95 entered the state on the [[Scudder Falls Bridge]] and continued east to [[U.S. Route 1|US 1]] in [[Lawrence Township, Mercer County, New Jersey|Lawrence Township]]. Here, I-95 abruptly ended and transitioned into [[Interstate 295 (DelawareâPennsylvania)|I-295]]. From New York, I-95 entered the state on the George Washington Bridge and followed the New Jersey Turnpike south to exit 6, ran along an extension of the turnpike, and ended on the Delaware RiverâTurnpike Toll Bridge at the Pennsylvania state line, where the route transitioned into [[Interstate 276|I-276]]. This discontinuity was caused by the 1983 cancelation of the [[Somerset Freeway]], a planned alignment of I-95 further inland from the turnpike. In order to close the gap, an [[Pennsylvania Turnpike/Interstate 95 Interchange Project|interchange]] was constructed where I-95 crosses the Pennsylvania Turnpike in [[Bristol Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania|Bristol Township, Pennsylvania]]. After the first components of the interchange opened on September 22, 2018, I-95 was rerouted onto the Pennsylvania Turnpike, meeting up with where I-95 previously ended at the state line. This project closed the last remaining gap in the route.<ref name="sofield" /> The former section of I-95 between the Pennsylvania Turnpike and US 1 in Lawrence became an extension of I-295. The interchange with the Pennsylvania Turnpike will be expanded in the future, connecting northbound I-95 with the westbound turnpike and the eastbound turnpike with southbound I-95.<ref>{{Cite web |title=I-95 Interchange Project |url=https://www.paturnpike.com/traveling/construction/site/i-95-interchange-project |access-date=December 24, 2022 |website=[[Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission]] |language=en |archive-date=December 25, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221225023857/https://www.paturnpike.com/traveling/construction/site/i-95-interchange-project |url-status=live }}</ref> In the 21st century, several large projects between [[Richmond, Virginia]], and [[New Jersey]] have aimed to decrease congestion along the corridor. The reconstruction of the [[Springfield Interchange]] in [[Northern Virginia]], just outside Washington, D.C. helped to ease traffic at the intersection of I-95, [[Interstate 495 (MarylandâVirginia)|I-495]], and [[Interstate 395 (VirginiaâDistrict of Columbia)|I-395]], and surrounding interchanges. The [[Springfield Interchange]] is one of the busiest highway junctions on the [[East Coast of the United States|East Coast]], serving between 400,000 and 500,000 vehicles per day. With the exception of [[high-occupancy toll]] (HOT) lanes on the Capital Beltway (I-495/I-95), this project was completed in July 2007.<ref name="IG">{{cite web|publisher=Interstate Guide|url=http://www.interstate-guide.com/i-095.html|title=Interstate 95 @ Interstate-Guide.com|access-date=February 15, 2008|archive-date=March 14, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090314123400/http://www.interstate-guide.com/i-095.html|url-status=live}}{{self-published source|date= May 2014}}</ref> A few miles to the east was another major project: the [[Woodrow Wilson Bridge]] replacement. The bridge carries I-95/I-495 over the [[Potomac River]]. The former Woodrow Wilson Bridge, which has since been demolished, was a six-lane bridge that was severely overcapacity. The new bridge is actually two bridges with a total of 12 lanes; five in each direction, with an additional lane in each direction for future use (rapid-bus or train). This project was completed with the 10 lanes opened on December 13, 2008, greatly reducing the traffic delays on the beltway. The lanes are divided into two through lanes and three local lanes in each direction. About {{convert|30|mi|km}} north of the Wilson Bridge, and about {{convert|20|mi|km}} south of [[Baltimore]] near [[Laurel, Maryland]], construction on a large new interchange began in 2008, was scheduled for completion in late 2011, and opened to traffic on November 9, 2014, which connects I-95 to [[Maryland Route 200]] (MD 200). In 2006, the [[Virginia General Assembly]] passed SJ184, a resolution calling for an interstate compact to build a toll highway between [[Dover, Delaware]], and [[Charleston, South Carolina]], as an alternative to I-95 that would allow long-distance traffic to avoid the Washington metropolitan area.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?ses=061&typ=bil&val=sj184 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110524063010/http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?ses=061&typ=bil&val=sj184 |url-status=dead |archive-date=May 24, 2011 |title=SJ 184 Interstate Route 95; Construction and Operation of Controlled-Access Highway as Alternative Thereto |publisher=[[Virginia Legislature]] }}</ref> Federal legislation has identified I-95 through Connecticut as [[Corridor 65 (NHS)|High Priority Corridor 65]].
