Interstate 95: The Super Highway of the East Coast!

Imagine a road so long it stretches from the sunny beaches of Florida all the way up to the pine trees of Maine! That's Interstate 95, or I-95 for short. It's like a giant ribbon of pavement connecting lots of big cities along the East Coast of the United States.

It mostly follows the ocean, so you might see the sea while you drive! It goes through 15 states, which is more than any other superhighway.

I-95 is super old, like some of your grandparents! It started being built a long, long time ago as part of the Interstate Highway System. Some parts of the road were already there, like old country roads, and they just made them bigger and better for cars to zoom on.

It took a long time to finish, and they even had to build a special bridge in New Jersey to connect the whole road from top to bottom.

Lots and lots of people live near I-95! It's a super busy road that goes through or near huge cities like Miami, New York City, and Boston. Think of all the kids, families, and friends living in those places! Because so many people live along I-95, it's like a superhighway for people and for businesses. It helps bring things to stores and lets people travel to visit family.

I-95 is like a superhero road! It's 1,906 miles long, which is longer than 3,000 football fields lined up end-to-end! It helps connect 110 million people, which is more than the population of many countries. This road helps with 40 percent of all the money made in the United States, helping businesses and jobs. It's a super important road for everyone living on the East Coast!
