In New York, I-95 travels for a total of 23.5 miles (37.8 km) from the Connecticut line to the Hudson River mostly traveling southwest until it reaches just north of the Hutchinson River Parkway then travels more west to head to the west of Co-Op City then travels to it's south and continues more south again until I-695 splits off with it and it heads west I-678 and travels more northwest - crossing over the Bruckner Interchange until it crosses over a bridge then evening out and crossing into the next state.
    • It has three name changes: From the Connecticut line to just north of Pelham Parkway, it travels as the New England Thruway. From the Bruckner Interchange to Harlem, it's the Bruckner Expressway and a portion of it with the Cross-Bronx Expressway. From Washington Heights to the George Washington Bridge, it's called the Trans-Manhattan Expressway. [15] The entire route here is toll-free, except northbound which has a toll gantry in New Rochelle - between exits 17 and 18A. [16]

      • Careful for exit 3/1C-D. I-87 has a big connector here.
      • Popular attractions along this stretch include the Bronx Zoo (exit 4B) and Orchard Beach (8B). However, you should pay attention to all direction changes around exits 6B and 6A as it's the uber-important Bruckner Interchange that messes most drivers up who don't recognize that it's changing in a mish-mosh of lanes and confuses just about everyone.

Travel in Pennsylvania.

  1. In Pennsylvania, I-95 heads straight east past one exit and turns off at the next exit where it separates from the connection with I-276 - where it continues to drop southwest. In its transit, it passes notable exits - although it never actually goes into Philadelphia at any time.

Travel through Maryland before the Capital Beltway.

  1. Kennedy Memorial Highway from the Delaware State line to the interchange with the Harbor Tunnel Thruway (I-895 at exit 46). However, past that, it loses its name. It travels at first - westward - until it reaches near Bay View - weaving and bobbing its way around smaller towns that don't want to be directly related to the highway - where it turns and makes a southwest beeline from its present location near Bay View around various aquatic items until it reaches a point just south of Rosedale, Maryland where it splits off an arterial route (I-895) and heads south before bending back near Graceland park and heading back to combine back with I-895 and lose the I-895 designation entirely. It travels more west as the provided tunnel and by the time it interchanges with I-695, it begins its southerly journey once again up until the next section's information - the Capital Beltway.

      • At exit 85, you'll find access to the Aberdeen Town Center.
    • In Baltimore County (just before the city's first section), expect to find exits for White Marsh's Express lanes exit and 67, but also expect to see exits for Rosedale (64).
      • White Marsh's Express lanes tack on an additional $2.54 in Video Tolling during peak, but come with discounts for Maryland E-ZPass or Pay-by-Plate or Off-Peak travel. [39]
      • At exit 64, expect to find an exit for I-695 onto I-70 and I-83
    • In Baltimore City County, expect to find exits for Baltimore's exits 62, 61, 60, 59, 58, 57, and 56.
      • At exit 62, expect to find an exit for I-895 into the northern terminus of the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel Thruway towards Annapolis
    • Cross the Fort McHenry Tunnel. This tunnel crosses under the Patapsco River. Its toll booths are highly traveled through, so E-ZPass is highly suggested here. Many locals know ways to avoid this area, but this toll booth is a required location when traveling I-95. It costs $4.00 for out-of-state E-ZPass, with discounts for Maryland-owned E-ZPass transponders. However, those wishing to avoid the toll will pay a $6.00 Video Toll to the Maryland Transportation Authority. Tolls are collected in both directions.
    • In Baltimore City County, expect to find more exits for Baltimore at exits 55, 54, 53, 52, 51, and 50.
      • Exit 55 is popular for those wanting to visit Fort McHenry National Monument. However, this exit is also the last exit before the tunnel and toll plaza.
      • Exit 53 is ultra-popular with Baltimore as it leads its travelers onto the streets of Baltimore's Inner Harbor - toward Oriole Park at Camden Yards, M&T Bank Stadium, and Baltimore's Convention Center. It is the auxiliary route I-395 but is so short of an auxiliary route, that most exiters don't know it as such.
    • In Baltimore County's second section, expect to find exits for Arbutus at exits 49 and 47.
      • At exit 49, find exits for the Key Bridge (northbound signage only) as I-695 onto I-70, though it also splits into 49A and 49B.
      • At exit 49, find exits for BWI Airport (from both directions), but that splits into exits 47A (east) and 47B (north).
    • In Howard County, expect to find exits for Elkridge (46 and 43), Columbia (41), Savage (38), and North Laurel (35).
    • In Prince George's County, expect to find exits for Laurel (33, 32-31) and Beltsville (29).
      • Expect to find the Muirkirk MARC Station (commuter railroad lines), however, this leads to the toll route on MD-200.

Travel Washington's suburbs in southern Maryland and northern Virginia.

  1. Around Washington's outskirts, you'll find an arterial ring that contains a circular-belt-shaped path - called the Capital Beltway. On this path, I-95 joins up with I-495 (veering left at exit 27, often called the College Park Interchange ) and heads on the eastern flank ring between College Park, Maryland, the next bridge, and into Virginia, utilizing each state's exit numbers within the belt. (It also has an exit that crosses a western belt to the western flank, but that doesn't carry the I-95 name, and shouldn't be confused.)
    • Do not confuse the "Inner Loop" with the "Outer Loop". However, this terminology just signifies the direction of Washington DC on the roadway, where if Washington is to your right you're on the Inner Loop. But if Washington is on your left, you're on the Outer Loop. [40]
      • With this route, you'll be on the inner loop heading south. But if you are heading north, you'll be on the outer loop heading north.
      • When traveling clockwise, legislators call the route traveling clockwise the "Inner Loop" and those traveling counterclockwise the "Outer Loop." [41]
    • Although I-95/I-495 on the Inner heads into Washington's tip as you cross the Woodrow Wilson Bridge, this area/state change (between Maryland and DC) isn't signed and is signed between Maryland and Virginia instead. [ citation needed ]
    • In Maryland's Prince George's County, expect exits for College Park (27 and 25), Greenbelt (24, 23, and 22), New Carrollton (exit 20), and Glenarden (19). Landover (17), Largo (16, 15, and 13), Forestville (11), Morningside (9), Temple Hills (7), and Oxon Hill (4, 3, 2)
      • At Maryland's exit 27, expect the start of the loop where I-495 W splits off at the College Park Interchange, and for southbounders expecting to stay on I-95, you should expect to bear left there.
      • At Maryland's exit 24, expect access to the WMATA Greenbelt green-line terminus station.
      • At Maryland's exit 23, expect access to Goddard Space Flight Center, the University of Maryland, Maryland Stadium, and the Xfinity Center.
      • At Maryland's exit 22, expect access to Nationals Park (off the WMATA Metro).
      • At Maryland's exit 19, expect access to New Carrollton's Metro station and Nationals Park via Metro.
      • At Maryland's exit 17, expect access to FedExField, Largo Town Center's Metro (blue line terminus), and Nationals Park via Metro, though the best access to FedExField is at exit 16.
      • At Maryland's exit 7, expect access to the Branch Avenue Metro station (green line [42] ) and Metro to Nationals Park via 7B.
      • At Maryland's exit 2, expect access to I-295 towards Washington and the National Harbor, though this is exits 1A-C on I-295.
    • Cross the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge. The Woodrow Wilson Bridge crosses the Potomac River as a double-leaf bascule bridge between Oxon Hills, Maryland, and Alexandria, Virginia where the District of Columbia's border dips south but isn't signed. The Woodrow Wilson Bridge is the only bridge to span over three state lines - Maryland, the District of Columbia (for .11 miles (0.18 km)), and Virginia. No direct exit comes into contact with the District of Columbia from I-95 and isn't mentioned on signs. [43]
    • In Virginia, expect to encounter exits in two counties (Alexandria and Fairfax) for the City of Alexandria (177C, 177A-B), Huntington (176A-B), Eisenhower Avenue's exit 174, Franconia (173), Tyson Corner (170B) and Springfield (170A) then bear left and follow signs "I-95 towards Richmond."
      • At Virginia's exit 177C, expect access to Mt Vernon from the southbound lanes only.
      • At Virginia's exit 170B, you'll find access to I-495 North (western flank), and exit 170A contains access to I-395/495 North, express lanes for I-395 and express lanes for I-495, and even express lanes for I-95!
      • At Virginia's exit 170A-B and 170-C, expect confusion to happen, because this is the southern point of the I-95/I-495 connection at the Springfield Interchange/Mixing Bowl [44] due to lots of interstates going every which way. Follow signs carefully.
        • For those expecting to travel north from Richmond onto the Capital Beltway, follow signs instead. However, while you should expect to enter it via the left-hand lanes, it'll turn right and bring you back into the eastern flank traveling back towards the College Park (MD) Interchange. However, this is a terrible area until you begin reading signs following this route carefully.

Travel in North Carolina.

  1. Although most of the journey is through rural areas of the state, [49] it does pass around most of the big cities and even near its capital city - Raleigh. As it travels mostly southwest, it passes to the west of Rocky Mount then a beeline past Raleigh and into Fayetteville. At this point, it begins a more south journey and passes just north of Lumberton where it picks up the southwest journey where it left off and heads out to the next state. About 2-3 hours of your journey will be spent inside this state.
    • Its official name inside North Carolina is called the Blue Star Memorial Highway, but there have been places where it's been called the Dick Fleming Freeway (between exits 97 and 95) and Hector MacLean Highway within Lumberton. [50]

Travel in South Carolina.

  1. In South Carolina, I-95 travels through the widest part of the state, however, it sets itself up so it's near the seaside towns in the state just to its south at about 50 miles (80 km) inland. [53] It travels through the state as the Blue Star Memorial Highway, however, various sections have other names such as an area in Darlington County north of Florence being called the Jacob Ham Jr Highway, and an area near Hardeeville being called the Mark H. Coates Highway for .5 miles (0.80 km). [54] .
    • There has been some discussion of making I-95 in South Carolina become tolled. However, due to some South Carolina Department of Transportation resistance in the 2010s, this had been greeted by traction, and the highway remains untolled here. [55]
    • Recognize that there is an exit 1 with signs in South Carolina - when traveling northbound for Dillon - along the state border.
    • In Dillon County, you'll have exits for Dillon (exits 193, 190, and a new exit with no numbering yet for I-73), and Latta (exits 181).
      • Stop by "South of the Border" - an attraction all of its own in Hamer, SC. Displaying humungous signs seen from both sides of the Carolina border miles away, this place has become a popular stop for many. Its 200-foot high Sombrero Tower (sign) [56] and Mexican-styled mascot Pedro sign looking into the horizon from miles around, attracts many curious eyes to see what's in store for them - including many places to take pictures.
      • South of the Border is a great rest stop for southern flare. It includes the convention center, a popular restaurant, a Sunoco gas station, a truck stop with adequate restrooms, and even a motel. [57] [58] [59]

Travel in Georgia.

  1. From the time you enter into it till the time you exit it, it remains mostly seaside, though it doesn't pass into the closest seaside cities and towns, as it enters through its southeastern corner. It passes through Savannah as it enters Georgia and around Brunswick and Kingsland.
    • Despite popular belief, I-95 here doesn't show the expected peach trees, because of the growing patterns of the peach tree close to highways. However, if you head into some towns and look around for quite some time, you might find some in unexpected places.
    • Along this route, you'll pass close to the Atlantic Ocean coastline and overtop of areas served by marshes, [63] but always along a corridor with US-17.

Travel in Florida.

  1. It parallels US-1 as it makes its way through this southernmost state through multiple bigger cities along the Floridian coastline till it meets US-1 and makes its way further south as you'll see in the next step-grou. Florida is the largest portion of this interstate at 382.009 miles (614.784 km). [68] It has an unsigned route of State Road 9A and the last southern 87 miles (140 km) is known as the Miami Memorial Metropolitan Expressway.
    • On the Wikipedia page directly for Interstate 95 in Florida, it's mentioned that there are tolled Express lanes between Miami and Boca Raton. However, it's also mentioned that there are plans to extend this route to Jupiter over time. However, these exits - also according to them - are unnumbered - with exits in Boca Raton, Deerfield Beach, Oakland Park, Fort Lauderdale, Dania Beach, Ives Estates-Ojus, Golden Glades, and Miami at present. [69] Although toll rates vary depending on distance traveled, as of June 2023, a trip end to end would cost about $1.50 (US) with each span costing $0.50 over three toll areas. [70] However, tolls may increase and decrease to suit the demand of Florida's SunPass toll transmitter program and the State of Florida. Toll rates are listed on a board and may change. [71]
    • In Nassau County, it'll travel through Callahan's exits 380 and 373 and include access to Fernandina Beach.

Understand where the extender road goes.

  1. On US-1, you'll travel through South Miami, Pinecrest, and Palmetto Bay, as well as Cutler Bay, Goulds, Princeton, Naranja, Leisure City, Homestead, and Florida City, before traveling through the Southern Glades Wildlife and Environmental Area [80] , crossing onto the Overseas Highway into Key Largo, and extending all the way west to Key West [81] where that concludes at a traffic light at the corner of Palm Avenue Causeway and North Roosevelt Blvd. [82]
    • In Key West's southwestern-most corner, you'll reach the border marker marking the southernmost point in the continental United States - where it's only 90 miles (140 km) to Cuba. [83]
    • If you want to learn more about what to expect from downtown Miami on this route, read the road travel section of Travel to Key West from Miami.

      • In How to Understand the Interstate Highway System's Nomenclature, the article mentions how interstates ending in a five follow a border-to-border concept. This one is the last one to go border-to-border, and while there's no border to Mexico on Florida's east coast, it does its best to follow that closely.

      • Most books referencing I-95's dos and don'ts write their content from north to south. And this article is written in this same direction.

      • I-95 often travels parallel to US-1, then at the southern terminus, brings them through the southeastern section down into Key Largo and out to Key West where it too ends. However, US-1 starts in Calais, ME instead.
        Thanks
