After 61 Years, America’s Busiest Highway Is Almost Complete

I-95 is being routed on the PA turnpike and the NJ turnpike connector, which connects Bristol, PA to Florence, NJ. At Florence, I-95 will then follow the New Jersey turnpike, bypassing Trenton. But I-95 will still go through Newark, Chester and Philly, so in general, I agree with you. Just take the turnpike from the Delaware Memorial Bridge. :-)

Hmmm... something is amiss.....

I remember going to florida about 45 years ago with my parents driving down 95, so many times we had to detour...it’s about time they completed it, can’t we do anything right.

The NJ Turnpike is the best route to take from Wilmington, DE to New York and points north. Stay away from 95 on the PA side!

6 MILES OF ROAD and this dipstick governor had to shut it down.

Need to get some bulldozers out there and create a "construction zone" (dirt road)

I grew up with this road in Boothwyn, PA.

Back in the 1950’s Breezewood was a special place. For millions of postwar veterans and their families, heading South for a long awaited winter vacation, pre the interstates, Breezewood was a great turning point.

From across the whole Midwest, families came east on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, at the time the only divided highway, a national wonder in itself. Getting off at Breezewood, resting up, eating, maybe staying the night for an early start the next day, they then headed South on The Highway To The Sun. Florida in the winter was a dream back then, and Breezewood was the jumping off place. I’m sure it has seen its day, but for millions it once was more than an interim destination on a map, it was a great right turn full of promise.
