{{Main|Interstate 95 in Florida}}
I-95 begins at [[U.S. Route 1|US&nbsp;1]] just south of downtown [[Miami]] and travels along the state's east coast, passing through [[Fort Lauderdale, Florida|Fort Lauderdale]], [[West Palm Beach, Florida|West Palm Beach]], the [[Miami metropolitan area|Gold Coast]], the [[Treasure Coast]], the [[Space Coast]], [[Daytona Beach, Florida|Daytona Beach]], [[Port Orange, Florida|Port Orange]], [[St. Augustine, Florida|St. Augustine]], and [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]] before entering the US state of Georgia near the city of [[Kingsland, Georgia|Kingsland]]. In Miami and Fort Lauderdale, [[SunPass]] express lanes pass over the highway.

Before 1987, a notable gap in the highway existed between West Palm Beach and [[Fort Pierce, Florida|Fort Pierce]]; I-95 traffic between those cities was diverted to [[Florida's Turnpike]]. Today, I-95 runs along a routing parallel to the turnpike.<ref>{{cite news |title= I-95 'Missing Link' Okayed |work= Lakeland Ledger |date= April 19, 1973 |page= 4A}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Truesdell |first=Jeff |date=December 13, 1987 |title=Closing I-95 gap opens door to growth |page=1A |work=[[Miami Herald]] |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-miami-herald-closing-i-95-gap-opens/138701124/ |via=[[Newspapers.com]] |accessdate=January 13, 2024 |archive-date=January 14, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240114055541/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-miami-herald-closing-i-95-gap-opens/138701124/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 2010, more fatalities occurred along the Florida section of I-95 than on any other Interstate Highway in the country.<ref>{{cite web |author=Tom Barlow |url=http://www.dailyfinance.com/2010/07/13/most-dangerous-times-places-to-drive/ |title=Most deadly times, places to drive |publisher=Walletpop.com |date=July 13, 2010 |access-date=October 23, 2014 |archive-date=July 9, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130709105446/http://www.dailyfinance.com/2010/07/13/most-dangerous-times-places-to-drive/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

====Georgia====
<!-- keep short and sweet -->
{{Main|Interstate 95 in Georgia}}
In Georgia, I-95 closely parallels the coastline, traveling primarily through marshlands a few miles from the shore. The route bypasses the cores of major coastal cities [[Brunswick, Georgia|Brunswick]] and [[Savannah, Georgia|Savannah]], routing traffic through the western sides of both cities' metro areas; it connects to the latter city by an intersection with [[Interstate 16|I-16]] before crossing into South Carolina. The exit numbers were converted from a [[Sequential exit numbering|sequential system]] to a [[Mileage-based exit numbering|mileage-based system]] around 2000. I-95 in Georgia has the [[Unsigned highway|unsigned designation]] of [[Georgia State Route 405|State Route&nbsp;405]] (SR&nbsp;405).<ref>{{cite web |date=June 12, 2003 |url=http://www.dot.state.ga.us/specialsubjects/newexitno/index.shtml |title=Georgia's Interstate Exit Numbers |publisher=Georgia Department of Transportation |access-date=April 30, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040215025749/http://www.dot.state.ga.us/specialsubjects/newexitno/index.shtml |archive-date=February 15, 2004 }}</ref>

==== South Carolina ====
<!-- keep short and sweet -->
{{main|Interstate 95 in South Carolina}}
Entering [[South Carolina]], I-95 diverts from its coastal route to a more inland route to the west. I-95 does not go near any major cities in South Carolina, with the largest city along its route being [[Florence, South Carolina|Florence]], the [[List of cities and towns in South Carolina|tenth largest in the state]]. The rest of South Carolina can be accessed via other Interstates that intersect I-95. It intersects [[Interstate 26|I-26]] near [[Harleyville, South Carolina|Harleyville]], which provides access to [[Charleston, South Carolina|Charleston]], [[Columbia, South Carolina|Columbia]], and [[Upstate South Carolina]]. It also intersects [[Interstate 20|I-20]] at Florence, which also connects to Columbia and then on to [[Atlanta, Georgia]]. At the North Carolina border, I-95 passes the [[South of the Border (attraction)|South of the Border]] [[roadside attraction]].

==== North Carolina ====
<!-- keep short and sweet -->
{{main|Interstate 95 in North Carolina}}
In North Carolina, I-95 informally serves as the separation between the state's central [[piedmont (United States)|Piedmont]] and eastern [[Atlantic Plain]] regions. Much like its route in South Carolina, I-95 runs through mostly rural areas, avoiding major cities like [[Raleigh, North Carolina|Raleigh]] and [[Durham, North Carolina|Durham]]. The route intersects [[Interstate 74|I-74]] near [[Lumberton, North Carolina|Lumberton]], [[Interstate 40|I-40]] near [[Benson, North Carolina|Benson]], and [[Interstate 87 (North Carolina)|Future I-87]]/[[U.S. Route 64 in North Carolina|US&nbsp;64]] near [[Rocky Mount, North Carolina|Rocky Mount]]. Several medium-sized cities lie along I-95 in North Carolina, including (from south to north) [[Fayetteville, North Carolina|Fayetteville]], [[Wilson, North Carolina|Wilson]], and Rocky Mount. At [[Gaston, North Carolina|Gaston]], I-95 crosses into Virginia.

===Mid-Atlantic region===
<!-- DC info goes this section-->
{{For|the short portion of the Interstate in Washington, D.C.|Woodrow Wilson Bridge}}

Much of I-95 in the Mid-Atlantic region is tolled, following the course of several turnpikes that predate the Interstate Highway System, as well as several other toll roads and toll bridges.

==== Virginia ====
<!-- keep short and sweet-->
{{main|Interstate 95 in Virginia}}
I-95 enters the [[Mid-Atlantic (United States)|Mid-Atlantic]] region in [[Virginia]] and travels through the center of the [[Northeast megalopolis|densest and most populous urban region in the US]]. I-95 travels north–south through Virginia, passing through [[Petersburg, Virginia|Petersburg]], and follows the [[Richmond–Petersburg Turnpike]] into downtown [[Richmond, Virginia|Richmond]] (where it is concurrent briefly with [[Interstate 64|I-64]]), and, from there, it turns northeast as it enters [[Northern Virginia]]. In the [[Washington metropolitan area]], it is concurrent with the [[Capital Beltway]] from the [[Springfield Interchange]] along with [[Interstate 495 (Maryland–Virginia)|I-495]], before passing through the southernmost corner of the District of Columbia for about {{convert|0.11|mi|km}} along the [[Woodrow Wilson Bridge]]<ref name="fhwa-facts-2">{{cite web |url=https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/national_highway_system/interstate_highway_system/routefinder/?redirect |title=Miscellaneous Interstate System Facts |publisher=Federal Highway Administration |date=April 6, 2011 |access-date=August 28, 2013 |archive-date=July 21, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130721170635/http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/reports/routefinder/#s11 |url-status=live }}</ref> before entering [[Maryland]] near [[National Harbor, Maryland]].

==== Maryland ====
<!-- keep short and sweet-->
{{main|Interstate 95 in Maryland }}
{{see also|Capital Beltway}}
In Maryland, I-95 goes northeast toward Baltimore, paralleling the older [[Baltimore–Washington Parkway]]. I-95 uses the [[Fort McHenry Tunnel]] to travel under Baltimore's [[Inner Harbor]] and travels through northeast Maryland along the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway, crossing into Delaware near [[Elkton, Maryland|Elkton]].

==== Delaware ====
<!-- keep short and sweet-->
{{main|Interstate 95 in Delaware}}
Entering Delaware at [[Newark, Delaware|Newark]], I-95 follows the [[Delaware Turnpike]] east across Delaware until the large and complex [[Interstate 495 (Delaware)|I-495]]/[[Interstate 295 (Delaware–Pennsylvania)|I-295]]/[[U.S. Route 202|US&nbsp;202]]/[[Delaware Route 141]] interchange near [[Newport, Delaware|Newport]] and turns northeast through [[Wilmington, Delaware|Wilmington]], skirting the west side of the downtown area before leaving Delaware in [[Claymont, Delaware|Claymont]] at the state's extreme northeastern corner. I-95 is the only two-digit interstate highway in Delaware, and it only passes through the [[Twelve-Mile Circle]], the northernmost part of the state.

==== Pennsylvania ====
<!-- keep short and sweet-->
{{main|Interstate 95 in Pennsylvania}}
Entering southeastern Pennsylvania near [[Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania|Marcus Hook]], I-95 crosses [[Delaware County, Pennsylvania|Delaware County]] and the city of [[Chester, Pennsylvania|Chester]], closely following the [[Delaware River]].  Entering [[Philadelphia]] near [[Philadelphia International Airport]], the freeway has an interchange with [[Interstate 76 (Ohio–New Jersey)|I-76]] before it follows a large viaduct along the extreme eastern edge of [[Center City, Philadelphia|Center City Philadelphia]]. Northeast of Philadelphia in [[Bucks County, Pennsylvania|Bucks County]], I-95 joins the [[Pennsylvania Turnpike]] near [[Bristol, Pennsylvania|Bristol]] before entering New Jersey on the [[Delaware River–Turnpike Toll Bridge]].

==== New Jersey ====
<!-- keep short and sweet-->
{{main|Interstate 95 in New Jersey}}
{{see also|New Jersey Turnpike}}
I-95 follows a {{convert|77.96|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}} course in New Jersey, starting in the south at the [[Pearl Harbor Memorial Turnpike Extension]] of the [[New Jersey Turnpike]], crossing the [[Delaware River]] on the [[Delaware River–Turnpike Toll Bridge]], joining the mainline turnpike at exit&nbsp;6. I-95 has interchanges with [[Interstate 78|I-78]] in [[Newark, New Jersey|Newark]] and [[Interstate 80|I-80]] in southern [[Teaneck, New Jersey|Teaneck]]. At the northern end of the turnpike in [[Fort Lee, New Jersey|Fort Lee]], I-95 turns southeast and crosses over the [[Hudson River]] into [[New York City]] via the [[George Washington Bridge]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.state.nj.us/transportation/commuter/roads/I95-295/|title=I-95/I-295 Signing Redesignation Project Overview|publisher=New Jersey Department of Transportation|date=February 21, 2018|access-date=April 12, 2018|archive-date=April 23, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180423163815/http://www.state.nj.us/transportation/commuter/roads/I95-295/|url-status=live}}</ref>

==== New York ====
<!-- keep short and sweet-->
{{main|Interstate 95 in New York}}
I-95 in New York City comprises all or part of several named expressways, including the [[Trans-Manhattan Expressway|Trans-Manhattan]], [[Cross Bronx Expressway|Cross Bronx]], and [[Bruckner Expressway|Bruckner]] expressways, as it crosses east-northeast across the boroughs of [[Manhattan]] and [[the Bronx]]. Within this {{convert|15|mi|km|adj=on}} stretch, I-95 intersects [[Interstate 87 (New York)|I-87]] in the [[South Bronx]], which connects to [[Albany, New York|Albany]] and [[Upstate New York]], as well as several auxiliary Interstates that provide access to other New York City boroughs and to [[Long Island]]. Entering [[Westchester County, New York|Westchester County]] in [[Pelham, New York|Pelham]], I-95 then follows the [[New England Thruway]] northeast to the Connecticut border at [[Port Chester, New York|Port Chester]], where it continues as the [[Connecticut Turnpike]].<ref>{{google maps|url=https://www.google.com/maps/dir/40.8514451,-73.9520919/40.9942066,-73.6595921/@40.8866681,-73.8872303,11.77z/data=!4m3!4m2!3e0!5i1?shorturl=1|title=Interstate 95 in New York|access-date=September 22, 2018}}</ref>

===New England===
====Connecticut====
<!-- keep short and sweet-->
{{main|Interstate 95 in Connecticut}}
{{see also|Connecticut Turnpike}}
I-95 enters [[New England]] in the state of Connecticut, where it closely follows the state's southern coast. The highway's direction through Connecticut is primarily east–west, and it passes through the most densely populated part of the state, including the cities of [[Stamford, Connecticut|Stamford]], [[Bridgeport, Connecticut|Bridgeport]] (the state's most populous city), and [[New Haven, Connecticut|New Haven]]. In New Haven, it intersects with [[Interstate 91|I-91]] as it passes into the more rural areas of the [[Lower Connecticut River Valley]]. I-95 leaves the Connecticut Turnpike at [[Interstate 395 (Connecticut–Massachusetts)|I-395]] at the [[East Lyme, Connecticut|East Lyme]]–[[Waterford, Connecticut|Waterford]] town line. I-95 next passes [[New London, Connecticut|New London]] and [[Groton, Connecticut|Groton]], before the route curves northeast and leaving its close connection to the coast. It leaves Connecticut in the town of [[North Stonington, Connecticut|North Stonington]].

==== Rhode Island ====
<!-- keep short and sweet-->
{{main|Interstate 95 in Rhode Island}}
I-95 enters [[Rhode Island]] in the town of [[Hopkinton, Rhode Island|Hopkinton]] and connects the rural areas of the southwestern corner of the state with the more metropolitan region around the state capital, [[Providence, Rhode Island|Providence]], in the state's northeastern corner. It leaves Rhode Island in the city of [[Pawtucket, Rhode Island|Pawtucket]].

==== Massachusetts ====
<!-- keep short and sweet-->
{{main|Interstate 95 in Massachusetts }}
Entering [[Massachusetts]] in [[Attleboro, Massachusetts|Attleboro]], I-95 heads northeast toward [[Boston]]. In [[Canton, Massachusetts|Canton]], roughly {{One2a|{{convert|1|mi|km|spell=in}}}} south of Boston's city limits, it turns to the west and begins a {{Convert|37|mi|km|-long|adj=mid}} [[Concurrency (road)|concurrency]] with [[Massachusetts Route 128|Route&nbsp;128]], a beltway that traverses Boston's inner suburbs. At this point, [[Interstate 93|I-93]] has its southern terminus and provides access to the city of Boston itself. I-95 intersects the [[Massachusetts Turnpike]]/I-90 at the [[Weston, Massachusetts|Weston]]–[[Newton, Massachusetts|Newton]] line and I-93 a second time at the tripoint of [[Woburn, Massachusetts|Woburn]], [[Reading, Massachusetts|Reading]], and [[Stoneham, Massachusetts|Stoneham]]. North of Boston, I-95 leaves the beltway and heads northward in [[Peabody, Massachusetts|Peabody]], while Route&nbsp;128 continues east to [[Cape Ann]]. I-95 leaves Massachusetts in [[Salisbury, Massachusetts|Salisbury]].

==== New Hampshire ====
<!-- keep short and sweet-->
{{main|Interstate 95 in New Hampshire}}
I-95 enters [[New Hampshire]] in the town of [[Seabrook, New Hampshire|Seabrook]], following the pre-Interstate [[New Hampshire Turnpike]] and traversing the {{convert|18|mi|km|-long|adj=mid}} [[Seacoast Region (New Hampshire)|Seacoast Region]] and the historic city of [[Portsmouth, New Hampshire|Portsmouth]] where it leaves the state. I-95 in New Hampshire is the shortest section of the highway (excluding D.C.).

==== Maine ====
<!-- keep short and sweet-->
{{main|Interstate 95 in Maine}}
In [[Maine]], I-95 follows the [[Maine Turnpike]], closely following the coast in a northeasterly direction until reaching [[Portland, Maine|Portland]], the state's largest city. From there, it turns northward to [[Augusta, Maine|Augusta]], where the Maine Turnpike ends while I-95 continues north to [[Palmyra, Maine|Palmyra]], where it turns east to [[Bangor, Maine|Bangor]]. From Bangor, it turns north again to [[Smyrna, Maine|Smyrna]] and makes a final turn to the east, reaching the [[Houlton–Woodstock Border Crossing]] in [[Houlton, Maine|Houlton]]. The road continues into the Canadian province of [[New Brunswick]] as [[New Brunswick Route 95|Route&nbsp;95]].<ref>{{google maps |url= https://www.google.com/maps/dir/40.9941221,-73.6595546/46.1348342,-67.7812495/@43.0392515,-73.3964135,6.81z/data=!4m9!4m8!1m5!3m4!1m2!1d-71.6136334!2d41.6488337!3s0x89e5cafe65ec6703:0xd9f6229fc2196bb5!1m0!3e0?shorturl=1|title= I-95 In New England |access-date= September 22, 2018 |link= no}}</ref>
