Interstate 95 shield

Interstate 95 (I-95) is an Interstate Highway that runs 1,927 miles (3,101 km) north–south along the east coast of the United States between Miami, Florida and Houlton, Maine. It is one of the best-known, most important, and most heavily travelled highways in the Interstate system. It serves and connects the major cities along the Northeast corridor, and it is the major north–south highway along the east coast. It is the longest north–south Interstate highway (five east–west routes are longer), and it passes through more states (15) than any other Interstate. As it passes through CT and RI, it actually runs east–west but still keeps its odd numeral designation. I-84 runs east–west through the same area, and parallels I-95, however has an even numeral designation.
