Encyclopedia > Somerset Freeway

The Somerset Freeway is the planning name for an unbuilt section of Interstate 95 in central New Jersey. Interstate 95 or (I-95) is an interstate highway that runs 1907 miles (3070 kilometers) north-south along the east coast of the United States. ...


Local opposition groups managed to stop construction of the Interstate through the area. Heading northbound from Pennsylvania into Ewing Township (by Trenton, New Jersey), Interstate 95 abruptly ends at its interstation with US 1. From there, the highway is then signed as Interstate 295, and turns south. To continue on Interstate 95 northbound, one must travel south on Interstate 295 then east on Interstate 195 (or use a non-freeway section of US 1) in order to reach the northern section of the New Jersey Turnpike, which is signed as Interstate 95. This situation is scheduled to be fixed sometime in the 2010s when a new interchange is to be built, and I-95 re-routed north of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to the Pennsylvania Turnpike Extension to the New Jersey Turnpike. Some highway mavens think that this will be an inadequate solution, and want the Somerset Freeway built; others want the entire main trunk of the New Jersey Turnpike designated as I-95, as that is where most of the traffic goes anyway; however, this would bypass Philadelphia.
