Interstate 95 (I-95), the main Interstate Highway on the East Declension of the United states, serves the Atlantic Coast of the The states state of Georgia. It crosses into the state from Florida at the St. Marys River most Kingsland and travels to the north past the cities of Brunswick and Savannah to the South Carolina state line at the Savannah River near Port Wentworth. The route likewise passes through the cities of Richmond Hill, Darien, and Woodbine. I-95 in Georgia has the unsigned designation of Country Route 405 (SR 405).

The highway enters Georgia via twin bridges over the St. Marys River, where it immediately enters the city of Kingsland, intersecting SR 40. The Interstate continues generally n-northeast, bypassing the smaller communities of Woodbine and Waverly en route to Brunswick, where it intersects US 17, United states of america 25, and US 341. The freeway leaves Brunswick, bypassing the cities of Darien and Midway, before reaching the southern suburbs of Savannah. The route kickoff encounters The states 17 once more, this fourth dimension in Richmond Loma, before intersecting SR 204, a busy freeway and southern featherbed into Savannah. The route then intersects with I-16 and US 80 in Pooler, also providing straight admission to Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport via the Airways Avenue exit (leave 104). The route then reenters the city limits of Savannah and then intersects SR 17. After that, the concluding exit in Georgia is in Port Wentworth, where it intersects SR 21/SR 30 and SR 565 (Savannah River Parkway), the major thoroughfare betwixt Augusta and Savannah. I-95 leaves Georgia via twin bridges over the Savannah River and heads northward into South Carolina.

The land welcome centers on both ends of I-95 are integrated with other interchanges. The northbound welcome center is congenital into the northbound offramp with leave one, while the onramp from here runs nether a bridge beneath the same offramp before leading back onto northbound I-95. The southbound welcome center can exist found just subsequently the offramp for first southbound truck weighing center, only for both facilities to share an onramp back to southbound I-95. Other rest areas, weigh stations, and visitors centers operate independently with no access to whatever other facilities or destinations.

Northbound I-95 at the interchange with I-xvi; note the crossing gates at the on- and offramps

I-95 intersects I-16 near Savannah (leave 99). Ramps to and from the eastbound lanes of I-xvi feature barrier gates to prevent traffic from entering I-sixteen in the incorrect direction during contraflow lane reversal for hurricane evacuations.

The unabridged length of I-95 in Georgia is function of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the near important for the nation'southward economy, mobility, and defense.^{[4] [5] [6]}

History [edit]

1960s [edit]

In 1965, I-95 was proposed from the Florida state line to SR 251 almost Darien. Information technology was under construction from in that location to SR 99 near Crescent. It was proposed from there to the S Carolina state line.^{[7] [8]} In 1966, it was under structure from its southern interchange with SR 99 to just north of SR 131 in Southward Newport.^{[viii] [9]} In 1967, it was nether construction only north of South Newport. It was under structure from Richmond Hill to I-xvi most Savannah.^{[9] [2]} In 1968, information technology was nether structure from the Florida country line to SR forty in Kingsland. It was also under construction from its southern interchange with SR 99 to SR 251 well-nigh Darien. It was open as I-95 from SR 251 to its northern interchange with SR 99 in Eulonia. Information technology was under structure from Eulonia to US 17/SR 25 north of South Newport.^{[two] [iii]}

1970s [edit]

In 1970, the highway was under construction from the Florida state line to only southeast of Woodbine. Information technology was also nether construction from United states of america 25/United states of america 341/SR 27 near Brunswick to SR 251 about Darien. It also had an under construction from Eulonia to I-sixteen.^{[x] [11]} In 1971, information technology was under construction from the Florida state line to northeast of White Oak and besides between the United states 17/SR 25 interchanges north of South Newport and in Richmond Hill.^{[11] [12]} In 1972, it was open up from the Florida state line to SR 40 in Kingsland. It was under construction from Kingsland to northeast of White Oak. It was nether construction from eastward of Waverly to US 25/US 341/SR 27 near Brunswick. Information technology was open from there to US 17/SR 25 north of S Newport. Information technology was open from Richmond Hill to I-sixteen. It was nether construction from only west of the Due south Carolina state line to the line.^{[12] [13]} In 1973, it was open up from the Florida state line to southeast of Woodbine.

After completion [edit]

In 1998, the Georgia State Senate passed a resolution to designate the portion of I-95 between the Ogeechee River (Bryan–Chatham county line) north to the Savannah River in the Savannah metropolitan surface area equally the Tom Coleman Highway, in honour of Tom Coleman, a Democrat who served as state senator from 1981 to 1995.^[19]

Until 2000, the land of Georgia used the sequential interchange numbering organization on all of its Interstate Highways. The first exit on each highway would begin with the number 1 and increase numerically with each leave. In 2000, the Georgia Department of Transportation switched to a mileage-based exit system, in which the get out number corresponded to the nearest milepost.^{[20] [21]}

Structure to widen I-95 from two to three lanes started with the Chatham Canton segment in 1989, with the other canton segments done in phases, with the projection completed throughout Georgia on December ten, 2010.^{[ citation needed ]}
