However, such ommissions are either remedied elsewhere or considered unnecessary under the circumstances: It has been suggested that Autobahn be merged into this article or section. ...

  • To travel from I-95 North to I-278 West (and vice versa), use I-895 (Sheridan Expressway).
  • To travel from I-295 North to I-95 North (and vice versa), use I-695 (Throgs Neck Expressway).

In Queens, they're connected by I-495, the Long Island Expressway.

An elaborate, high-speed interchange was planned for the intersection of the Bruckner Expressway, the Cross Bronx Expressway (I-95 and I-295) and the Hutchinson River Parkway, replacing the antiquated, underpowered Bruckner traffic circle and Unionport drawbridge.
When the Bruckner interchange was still under construction, the incomplete Bruckner section between the Sheridan Expressway (then signed as I-278) and the Bruckner traffic circle was posted by the New York State Department of Public Works (later NYSDOT) as I-878.
The NYSDOT is rebuilding the heavily traveled I-95 section of the Bruckner Expressway from the "Bruckner interchange" north to EXITS 8 B-C (Pelham Parkway).
