By sheer numbers, the Interstate 95 Highway is one the busiest, most well
known, and one of the most important interstate highways in the
USA.
The i-95 is the main north-south land-based transportation
corridor for the east coast of the United States... the i-95 is used by millions of people
daily... the highway is a critical transportation connector for
the majority of the east coast population ... the i-95 conveniently provides direct connections
to most of the largest cities located along the east coast, as well
as, hundred's of smaller communities & cities located along it's
approx. 1,900 mile length...
facilitating easy automotive travel between communities along it's route.
The Interstate 95 is also sometimes referred to as
the "i-95", the "i-95 Corridor", the "i-95 Highway",
"i-95 Freeway" in addition to many other names.
Starting near the north-east corner of the USA
at
Houlton Maine, the i-95 travels south through 15
different states (16 if you include the District of Columbia)... at
the south end of the i-95, the highway terminates in Miami,
where it becomes the Dixie Highway or US Highway 1... the US
Highway 1 continues south eventually reaching
Key West FL.
If you follow the i-95 to it's very north-end, you will
eventually reach Canada, if you cross the border into Canada, you will
enter the Canadian province of New Brunswick.
Not only does the i-95 provide a convenient transportation corridor
for the east coast, the highway also offers many great tourism
opportunities, as the i-95 travels through or in close proximity to
some of America's greatest cities, attractions, scenic spots, historic
sites, and beaches.
Many cities located along the i-95 also offer excellent business
opportunities; because of the way the i-95 uniquely and
conveniently connects such a large number of major cities...
businesses located in strategic cities along the i-95 can gain certain
cost efficiencies, while at the same time, reach very large
markets/economies... this combination of transportation efficiencies &
easy access to very large markets, cannot easily be replicated.
According to the software program
Streets &
Trips, the program calculates the entire length of the i-95 at approximately 1,927 miles long,
and takes approx. 30 hrs. and 35
minutes of straight driving time to complete... it
calculates an approx.
trip time of 3 days and 6 hrs. when factoring in
sleep/rest time.
