Encyclopedia > Interstate 195

Interstate 195 is the designation for several interstate highway loop, spur, or bypass routes associated with Interstate 95, which spans the east coast of the United States.

Contents

Maine

Interstate 195 in Maine runs from the Maine Turnpike in Saco to Maine State Route 5 where it enters Old Orchard Beach. The road was built in the early 1980s to avoid congestion in downtown Saco from summer traffic to the beach.


Massachusetts and Rhode Island

The 40.1 mile long Interstate 195 in Massachusetts and Rhode Island travels from a junction with Interstate 495 in Wareham, Massachusetts to a junction with Interstate 95 in Providence, Rhode Island. It travels east-west and passes through the cities of New Bedford, Massachusetts and Fall River, Massachusetts.


New Jersey

The 34.17 mile (55.0 km) long Interstate 195 in New Jersey begins at Route 34 in Wall Township and ends at I-295 just south of Trenton, New Jersey. It is also known as the Central Jersey Expressway. Much of the traffic on the highway is due to its proximity to Six Flags Great Adventure amusement park. (I-195 does not end at the Garden State Parkway, but stops about 1/3 mile (1/2 km) short of it, due it being built to connect with Route 38 (now Route 138), which ended at Route 34.) Route 138 continues east to Belmar, New Jersey.


When it was built, it did not intersect its nominal parent at all, but was in fact a tertiary interstate. When I-95 was re-routed to the New Jersey Turnpike in 1980 as a result of the Somerset Freeway not being built, the Turnpike became I-195's proverbial parent; there is an intersection between I-195 and the Turnpike.


Maryland

The 4.88 mile long Interstate 195 in Maryland is a spur of Interstate 95 just south of Baltimore that travels from Interstate 95 to Baltimore-Washington International Airport.


Virginia

The 3.5 mile long Interstate 195 in Richmond, Virginia, also known as the Beltline Expressway, is a connector route from a junction with Interstate 95 and Interstate 64 to a junction with the Downtown Expressway.

Interstate 195 is the spur from Interstate 95 southeast to Baltimore-Washington Airport, following the original corridor of Maryland 166 until reaching U.S. This photo shows the transition from southbound Interstate 95 onto eastbound Interstate 195, with a view of the ramp from eastbound Interstate 195 to northbound Interstate 95.
Interstate 195 was signed on various maps through the 1980s, but the highway may have been signed in the field as Maryland 166 northwest of U.S. 1 and as Maryland 46 southeast of Maryland 295/Baltimore-Washington Parkway.
Interstate 195 approaches its western terminus as the freeway splits: Exit 5A to the university; Exit 5B to Maryland 166/Rolling Road; and Exit 5C to the Park and Ride that rests in the median of the freeway where it ends.
