46Dover Posted January 31, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 31, 2015 Interstate 95 will finally become a full connecting highway in the next _ years. The plan is to bring I-95 North of Philadelphia onto the Pennsylvania Turnpike (where there should be construction happening), cross the Delaware River (where a second bridge is in the planning) and onto the Turnpike at Exit 6 The only thing I don't agree with is turning I-295 into I-195 at the Exit 60 junction, going around Trenton and meeting with I 95 at the Penn Tnpk/I-276 Jct. Better to keep it as I-295 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quill Depot Posted January 31, 2015 Share #2 Posted January 31, 2015 Why can't it just go along the Jersey Turnpike at Wilmington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtatransit Posted January 31, 2015 Share #3 Posted January 31, 2015 Why can't it just go along the Jersey Turnpike at Wilmington. Maybe its the mentality that the I-95 should serve every city on the east coast including Philadelphia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46Dover Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted January 31, 2015 Why can't it just go along the Jersey Turnpike at Wilmington. Exit ramps are not to Interstate highway standards from Exit 6 to Del Mem Br Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewJC Posted February 1, 2015 Share #5 Posted February 1, 2015 Maybe its the mentality that the I-95 should serve every city on the east coast including Philadelphia. Which is a pretty silly mentality, since through traffic is best routed past cities, not through them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N6 Limited Posted February 1, 2015 Share #6 Posted February 1, 2015 Why can't it just go along the Jersey Turnpike at Wilmington. Because Pennsylvania and Philly says "I don't think so " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

46Dover Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share #8 Posted February 2, 2015 Does this actually help anyone? A chance to pay less money driving south by cutting through Philadelphia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N6 Limited Posted February 3, 2015 Share #9 Posted February 3, 2015 A chance to pay less money driving south by cutting through Philadelphia There's a higher toll at exit 6 on the NJTP and there is a Deleware river bridge toll on the PA turnpike, no?

46Dover Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share #10 Posted February 4, 2015 There's a higher toll at exit 6 on the NJTP and there is a Deleware river bridge toll on the PA turnpike, no? Not really as compared to running the entire length of the turnpike. Another thing that will be done is the building of a second bridge over the Delaware River which will be finished after the 95 project is finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
