Interstate 95 (I-95) is the main Interstate Highway on the east coast of the United States; it serves the Atlantic coast of Florida. It begins at a partial interchange with U.S. Highway 1 just south of downtown Miami, and heads north past Daytona Beach and Jacksonville to the Georgia state line at the St. Marys River.

Route description

Interstate 95's southbound HOV Lane over the Golden Glades Interchange heading towards Miami.

Interstate 95 runs for 382.083 miles (614.903 km), the southernmost 12.848 miles (20.677 km) of which are unsigned as State Road 9A. The highway splits from U.S. Highway 1 near 32nd Road in southern Miami. It quickly interchanges with the Rickenbacker Causeway via the short unsigned SR 913, and then heads north into downtown. The short SR 970 freeway, mostly unsigned, distributes traffic to several downtown streets. On the north side of downtown, at the Midtown Interchange, Interstate 395 heads east to the MacArthur Causeway, and the tolled SR 836 heads west to Miami International Airport. Throughout Miami-Dade County, I-95 is designated the North–South Expressway according to some maps.

After crossing I-395 and SR 836, I-95 begins to head north roughly along the alignment of Northwest 6th Avenue, lying one block east of Northwest 7th Avenue (U.S. Highway 441/SR 7). Just north of 36th Street (U.S. Highway 27/SR 25), at what has been called the 36th Street Interchange, I-95 crosses Interstate 195, which goes east over the Julia Tuttle Causeway to Miami Beach, and SR 112, a toll road west to the airport. A two-way high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) roadway in the median begins at I-195 and SR 112, formed by ramps to and from SR 112. I-95 continues north, crossing and interchanging with many surface roads, most of which are State Roads, before reaching the Golden Glades Interchange.

The complicated Golden Glades Interchange provides access between I-95 and two other freeways — the original section of Florida's Turnpike (SR 91), since bypassed by the Homestead Extension (SR 821), and the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826). Ramps are also provided to and from several surface streets - SR 826 east on 167th Street to Sunny Isles Beach, U.S. Highway 441 (SR 7) south on Northwest 7th Avenue and north on Northwest 2nd Avenue, and SR 9 southwest on a limited-access roadway to Northwest 27th Avenue. I-95 north to West Palm Beach, as well as SR 9 southwest to 27th Avenue, runs parallel to the South Florida Rail Corridor, used by CSX Transportation for freight and Tri-Rail for commuter rail. At the Golden Glades Interchange, SR 9 merges with I-95, and I-95 is unsigned as State Road 9 for the remainder of its length.

Interstate 95 near Miami

North of Miami, I-95 continues on to Ft. Lauderdale, where it interchanges with I-595, providing access to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades to the east, and Broward County's western suburbs as well as I-75 northbound (via Alligator Alley) across the peninsula to the Gulf Coast to the west. In West Palm Beach, I-95 provides direct access to Palm Beach International Airport as well as downtown West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Island via SR 704 (Okeechobee Blvd.). North of West Palm Beach, I-95 literally runs beside Florida's Turnpike for several miles, before the freeways eventually go separate ways north of Fort Pierce (I-95 continues directly along the coast; Florida's Turnpike turns west toward Orlando).

After an interchange with State Road 70 providing access to the Turnpike, the highway narrows to two lanes in each direction. The road soon enters Indian River County and the next major exit is with State Road 60 providing access to Vero Beach. The highway soon enters Brevard County and the Space Coast of Florida. In Palm Bay, the road widens to three lanes in each direction and continues north passing Melbourne, Viera, and Cocoa. The next major junction is State Road 528 with tolled access to Orlando, Cocoa Beach, and Cape Canaveral. The road then narrows to two lanes in each direction and approaches the city of Titusville. I-95 continues north and enters Volusia County and the city of Daytona Beach shortly afterwards. At the junction with Interstate 4, the road widens to three lanes in each direction. The highway passes through Flagler and St. Johns counties before it enters Duval County and the city of Jacksonville.

I-95 then continues directly through the center of downtown Jacksonville, with several major interchanges: I-295, several miles south of the city; I-10 just south of downtown, and I-295 once again several miles north of the city (signed as the I-295 East Beltway [which crosses the Dames Point Bridge] and the I-295 West Beltway [which crosses the Buckman Bridge]). Between exits 349 and 350A, I-95 is concurrent with U.S. Route 1 and its unsigned designation SR 5. The Fuller Warren Bridge, which carries I-95 over the St. Johns River just south of I-10, was rebuilt in 2002, and a new intersection between I-95 and I-10 was completed in September 2010. Just north of I-295, I-95 provides access to Jacksonville International Airport. From this point, I-95 continues north several miles before crossing into Nassau County with an exit for State Road A1A and then into Georgia, just north of mile marker 380.

Express toll lanes

The current HOV lanes in both directions between I-395 in Miami and I-595 in Davie are converted to High Occupancy toll lanes, with two lanes in each direction. Prices vary based on congestion and peak hours and tolls are collected electronically, while registered travelers with 3 or more passengers and hybrid vehicles can drive the toll lanes for free. Both HOT lanes have been completed in both directions from I-395 to the Golden Glades Interchange (including toll gantries).

History

Interstate 95 was initially signed in 1959, and the first section to be opened to traffic was in Jacksonville in 1960. A year later, a short section just north of the current I-195 in Miami opened. The Miami News in 1956 touted the construction of what would become I-95 in Miami as a "...slum clearance program." Most of the construction was focused between Jacksonville and Daytona Beach in the early 1960s. At the end of the decade, the highway was complete from U.S. 17, just south of the Georgia state line to SR 60 near Vero Beach (Georgia had not completed their portion of I-95 at the time of Florida's completion). Also by 1970, the segment from Ft. Lauderdale to Miami was complete. By 1976, most of the highway was complete from the Georgia State Line to Ft. Pierce as well as Palm Beach Gardens to Miami.

In 2002, I-95, along with most of Florida's interstates, switched over from a sequential exit numbering system to a mileage based exit numbering system.

Missing Treasure Coast Link

The Bureau of Public Roads approved an Interstate 95 alignment that used 41 miles (66 km) of the Turnpike from PGA Boulevard (SR 786) in Palm Beach Gardens north to SR 70 in Ft. Pierce in the 1950s. In the mid-1960s, the State Road Department authorized traffic counts be conducted to determine if the separation of Interstate 95 from the Turnpike was feasible, with arguments that using a concurrent alignment was costing Florida money for Federal Highway funding, but not without the concern of losing toll revenue. Interstate 95 was given a separate alignment from Florida's Turnpike in 1973.

Over time, the interstate adopted a separate route closer to U.S. Route 1, including parallel with the turnpike between Stuart and Palm Beach Gardens and was originally scheduled to be completed in 1972. However, resistance by Martin County officials due to environmental and unwanted growth concerns delayed the highway's completion for 15 years, requiring those who wanted to travel through the Treasure Coast to take either the slower US 1 or the tolled Turnpike. This section opened to traffic on December 19, 1987, with I-95 running uninterrupted from Miami to the state line.

Future

Interstate 95 as it goes through Fort Lauderdale

The stretch of road between Exit 173 (SR 514) and Exit 220 (SR 406) in Brevard County is in the process of being widened from four to six lanes, and where a new interchange will be constructed where the Pineda Causeway is to be extended to the interstate in Melbourne.
