Interstate 95
–
I-95 is one of the oldest routes of the Interstate Highway System, yet its completion is still dependent on a project in Pennsylvania and New Jersey that is scheduled to be finished by 2018. Currently, its role in that region has been filled in mainly by I-295, I-195, many sections of I-95 incorporated pre-existing sections of toll roads where they served the same right of way. I-95s two pieces total 1,919.74 mi, the southern terminus of I-95 is at U. S. Route 1 in Miami, Florida, while the northern terminus is at the Houlton–Woodstock Border Crossing with New Brunswick, Canada. I-95 is the longest north–south Interstate, followed by I-75, and the sixth-longest Interstate Highway overall after I-70, I-10, I-40, I-80, I-95 passes through more states than any other Interstate Highway at 15 states, followed by I-90, which crosses 13 states. Average and as densely settled as much of Western Europe and this portion of the highway was notably featured in the film Flight of the Navigator when the spaceship flew along the highway towards Miami. Today, that runs parallel with the turnpike. In the year 2010, the Florida section of I-95 had the most fatalities of all Interstate Highways, the Georgia section of Interstate 95 travels through the marshlands closely following the coastline bypassing the cities of Brunswick and Savannah. It intersects Interstate 16 and then crosses into South Carolina, the road is named the Tom P. Coleman Highway in honor of Senator Tom Coleman who served from 1981 to 1995. The exit numbers were converted from a system to a mileage based system around the year 2000. In the Carolinas, I-95 travels west of the sections and indirectly serves popular destinations such as the Outer Banks, Myrtle Beach. I-95 notably bypasses the cities of Charleston and Raleigh while intersecting major Interstate highways at Florence. I-95 also passes the South of the Border attraction immediately before crossing into North Carolina, in North Carolina, I-95 informally serves as separation between the piedmont and coastal plain regions of North Carolina. Rocky Mount, NC is a control city that is seen from signage in Virginia heading into North Carolina. After Gaston, NC, I-95 crosses into Virginia, I-95 enters the Mid-Atlantic region in Virginia and travels through some of the most populated areas along the east coast. I-95 is concurrent briefly with I-64 in the middle of Richmond before heading toward Northern Virginia, from the tunnels of Baltimore to the bridges of New York, I-95 is mostly a tolled road. A project will fill this gap using the easternmost portion of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, I-95 connects to New York via the George Washington Bridge. I-95 in New York comprises several named expressways, the Trans-Manhattan Expressway, the Cross Bronx Expressway, the Bruckner Expressway, from New Jersey, it is briefly co-signed with U. S.1 and U. S.9. There are many interchanges within this 23-mile stretch that connects New York City to Albany, Upstate New York, I-95 then becomes the New England Thruway to Connecticut, where it continues as the Connecticut Turnpike

Interstate 95 in Delaware
–
Interstate 95 is an Interstate highway running along the East Coast of the United States from Miami, Florida north to the Canadian border in Houlton, Maine. I-95 is the only primary Interstate highway that enters Delaware, although it also has two routes within the state. Between the Maryland border and Newport, I-95 follows the Delaware Turnpike or John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway, in Newport, the interstate has a large interchange with Delaware Route 141 and the southern termini of I-295 and I-495, the latter interstate providing a bypass of Wilmington. I-95 heads north through the heart of Wilmington concurrent with U. S. Route 202 on the Wilmington Expressway, past Wilmington, I-95 continues northeast to Claymont, where I-495 rejoins the route right before the Pennsylvania state line. Plans for a road along the I-95 corridor through Wilmington to the Pennsylvania border predate the Interstate Highway System, with the creation of the Interstate Highway System in 1956, both these roads were incorporated into I-95. Construction on the Delaware Turnpike began in 1957 and ended in 1963, construction on building I-95 through Wilmington began in the early 1960s. I-95 was completed north from Newport to downtown Wilmington in 1966, improvements continue to be made to the highway including widening projects and reconstruction of sections of the road and interchanges. I-95 enters Delaware from Maryland southwest of Newark in New Castle County, from the state line, the highway heads east as the six-lane Delaware Turnpike through wooded areas. Not far from the Maryland border, the comes to a toll plaza. I-95 widens to eight lanes and comes to a cloverleaf interchange with DE896, which heads north to Newark. The road heads through woodland with nearby suburban development as it curves northeast. A short distance later, I-95 reaches the DE273 interchange west of Christiana, the freeway continues northeast and comes to a modified cloverleaf interchange with the DE 1/DE7 freeway to the northwest of the Christiana Mall. The highway continues through woods before passing through Churchmans Marsh, where it crosses the Christina River, after this bridge, I-95 has a northbound ramp to Airport Road that serves to provide access to southbound US 202/DE141. At this point, the lanes of the interstate split further apart, the ramp to northbound I-295 has two lanes while northbound I-95 carries four lanes. After this, I-95 crosses US 202/DE141, at which point US202 becomes concurrent with the interstate. Upon crossing DE141, the ramp to northbound DE141 from the northbound I-295 ramp splits off while the ramp from DE141 to northbound I-95 merges in from the left, southbound, a collector/distributor ramp serves to provide access between I-95 and DE141. After I-295, I-95/US202 turns north and comes to an exit and southbound entrance with the southern terminus of I-495. Following the I-495 interchange, the narrows and I-95/US202 heads northeast through marshland as the six-lane Wilmington Expressway

The route passes the airport concurrent with Delaware Route 141 before coming to an interchange with Interstate 95, at this point, US202 heads northeast along with I-95 through Wilmington. Just north of Wilmington, US202 splits from I-95 by running north on Concord Pike through the suburban Brandywine Hundred area to the Pennsylvania border. The Concord Pike was originally chartered as the Wilmington and Great Valley Turnpike in 1811, the Concord Pike between US13 in Wilmington and the Pennsylvania border became a part of US122 in 1926. By 1936, US122 was renumbered to US202 and the road was realigned to head southwest, in the 1950s, the Concord Pike north of Wilmington was widened into a divided highway. In 1970, US202 was truncated to the I-95 interchange north of Wilmington, DE202 was designated along Concord Avenue in 1981. US202 was extended to its current terminus in 1984, US202 begins at a cloverleaf interchange with US 13/US40 east of the Wilmington Airport, with the road continuing south toward New Castle as DE141. Past this intersection, the median of US 202/DE141 widens as the road intersects Airport Road, the road comes to an interchange with I-95 and the southern terminus of I-295. Here, US202 splits from DE141 and heads to the east along I-95, I-295 splits off to the east before the freeway curves northeast and interchanges with the southern terminus of I-495. Following this, I-95/US202 becomes a freeway and heads through marshland. The freeway comes to a bridge over Norfolk Southerns Shellpot Branch, the road enters Wilmington and curves to the north, passing to the west of Frawley Stadium, which is home of the Wilmington Blue Rocks baseball team. At this point, the freeway continues northeast, with one-way northbound North Adams Street to the east.

–
Interstate 495 is a 11. 47-mile long Interstate highway in the U. S. state of Delaware. The highway serves as a bypass of I-95 around the city of Wilmington. I-495 begins at an interchange with I-95 and I-295 near Newport to the southwest of Wilmington, from here, the road heads east to the Port of Wilmington, where it turns northeast and crosses the Christina River as it heads to the east of downtown Wilmington. Upon reaching Edgemoor, I-495 runs between the Delaware River to the east and U. S. Route 13 to the west, in Claymont, I-495 turns north and merges into northbound I-95 at an interchange with Delaware Route 92 just south of the Pennsylvania state line. Plans for a bypass of Wilmington to the east date back to 1948 and was incorporated into the Interstate Highway System in 1956 and this interstate bypass was numbered I-495 in the 1960s. Construction on building I-495 took place during the course of the 1970s, between 1978 and 1980, I-95 was designated along the I-495 alignment while the South Wilmington Viaduct along I-95 was reconstructed, during this time the route through Wilmington was known as I-895. The US 13/DE3 interchange in Edgemoor opened in 1988, in 2014, the bridge over the Christina River was closed due to tilting support columns until repairs were completed. I-495 begins at an interchange with I-95/US202 and I-295 near Newport, at the southern terminus, southbound I-495 also has a ramp that provides easier access to the DE141 interchange along I-95. Past this, the highway enters industrial areas and reaches the DE 9A exit near the Port of Wilmington, I-495 comes to a bridge that crosses over Norfolk Southerns New Castle Secondary, DE 9A, and the Christina River. From here, the heads into the eastern part of Wilmington. The road runs through marshland, crossing Shellpot Creek, before coming to an interchange in industrial Edgemoor that connects to the southern terminus of DE3 as well as to US13. I-495 continues along this configuration until it reaches Claymont, the road comes to another exit for US13 before merging into I-95 at the DE92 interchange near the Tri-State Mall and the Pennsylvania border. Southbound, the I-495 splitoff from I-95 actually starts in Pennsylvania, as part of the Interstate Highway System, the entire length of I-495 is a part of the National Highway System. In 1948, the Wilmington Transportation Study proposed two new roads running between the end of Wilmington and the Pennsylvania border to improve traffic flow in the Wilmington area. Route A followed the current alignment of I-95 through the city while Route B bypassed the city to the east along the current alignment of I-495, in 1956, the Interstate Highway System was created, with FAI-3 proposed along the current alignment of I-495. In 1960, design work on FAI-3 was underway, the route of FAI-3 was numbered as I-495 in 1962. In 1968, structural design for bridges along I-495 was underway, in 1970, work continued on relocating US13 along with the construction of bridges carrying the interstate over Stoney Creek. A contract was awarded to build I-495 between Edgemoor and I-95 in Claymont in 1971, the same year, work was underway on building the bridge over the Christina River

In 1900,3,380 people lived here, in 1910,3,351, according to the 2010 Census, the population of the city is 5,285. The Dutch originally named the settlement Fort Casimir, but this was changed to Fort Trinity following its seizure by the colony of New Sweden on Trinity Sunday,1654, the Dutch conquered the entire colony of New Sweden the following year and rechristened the fort Nieuw-Amstel. As the settlement grew, Dutch authorities laid out a grid of streets and established the town common, in 1664, the English seized the entire New Netherland colony in the Second Anglo-Dutch War and changed the name of the town to New Castle. The Dutch regained the town in 1673 during the Third Anglo-Dutch War, in 1680, New Castle was conveyed to William Penn by the Duke of York by livery of seisin and was Penns landing place when he first set foot on American soil on October 27,1682. This transfer to Penn was contested by Lord Baltimore and the dispute was not resolved until the survey conducted by Mason and Dixon. The spire on top of the Court House, Delawares Colonial capitol, the Delaware River within this radius to the low water mark on the opposite shore is part of Delaware. Thus the Delaware Memorial Bridge was built as an intrastate span by Delaware, prior to the establishment of Penns Philadelphia, New Castle was center of government. Delaware formally broke from Pennsylvania in 1704, New Castle again became the seat of the colonial government, thriving with the various judges and lawyers that fueled the economy. Many smaller houses were torn down and replaced in this era, in February 1777, John McKinly was elected the first President of Delaware. McKinley was captured by the British and held prisoner for several months, New Castle remained the county seat until after the Civil War, when that status was transferred to Wilmington. Three signers of the Declaration of Independence were from New Castle — Thomas McKean, George Read, the 16-mile portage between the Delaware River and Chesapeake Bay saved a 400-mile trip around the Delmarva Peninsula, so this brought passengers, goods, and business to New Castles port. In the years following the Revolution, a turnpike was built to travel between the two major waterways. The line traversed the Delmarva Peninsula, running to the Elk River, Maryland, from where passengers changed to packet boats for travel to Baltimore. The decline in New Castles economy had the long-range fortunate effect of preventing most residents from making any significant structural changes to their homes, so, the many buildings of historic New Castle look much as they did in the colonial and Federal periods. New Castle has a tradition, dating back to 1927, of tours of homes, churches. These tours, called A Day in Olde New Castle, are held on the third Saturday of May.

The route divides into four roadways between exit 6 and exit 14, with the inner lanes restricted to carrying only cars, and with the outer lanes for cars, trucks and buses. The northern part of the turnpike, along with the entirety of its extensions and spurs, is part of the Interstate Highway System. South of exit 6, it has the unsigned Route 700 designation, construction of the mainline from conceptualization to completion took 23 months, from 1950 to 1952. It was officially opened to traffic in November 1951, between its terminus and exit 10. The Interstate Highway System took some of its design guidelines by copying the Turnpikes design guidelines, to some degree, the Turnpike is considered iconic in pop culture, having been referenced in music, film and television. The main road of the New Jersey Turnpike splits from I-295 in Carneys Point Township and runs a north-northeast route to Ridgefield Park and it is designated Route 700, an unsigned route, from exit 1 to exit 6, and as I-95 from exit 6 to exit 18. The number of ranges from 4 lanes south of exit 4,6 lanes between exit 4 and exit 6,12 lanes between exit 6 and exit 11, and 14 lanes between exit 11 and exit 14. None of these state highway designations have ever been signed, specifically, starting in Mansfield Township, the Turnpike has a total of 12 lanes,6 in each direction. From Woodbridge Township to Newark, High-occupancy vehicle lanes exist on the outer roadway, thereby making it 7 lanes in each direction. The HOV lanes are in effect on weekdays, from 6,00 a. m. –9,00 a. m. northbound, north of exit 14, the Turnpike splits into two spurs, the Eastern Spur and the Western Spur. Both spurs are signed as I-95, the Western Spur is posted for through traffic on I-95 seeking Interstate 280, the Meadowlands Sports Complex, and the George Washington Bridge. Traffic seeking U. S. Route 46, Interstate 80, the New Jersey Department of Transportation, which calls every class of highway Route, calls the Western Spur Route 95W. It connects Newark with Lower Manhattan via the Holland Tunnel in Jersey City and this extension contains three exits and due to its design, it has a 50 mph speed limit. A 6-mile long six-lane highway, it not only connects the Pennsylvania Turnpike with the mainline and it was formerly designated as Route 700P, but is currently designated I-95 in anticipation of the completion of the Pennsylvania Turnpike/Interstate 95 Interchange Project in 2018. A 4-mile stretch of I-95 north of U. S.46 came under Turnpike Authority jurisdiction in 1992 and this section of the road travels past the interchange for I-80 and through a cut in the Hudson Palisades at GWB Plaza

New retirement communities and assisted-living facilities outpace that of new residential communities. Such construction has been spurred by several factors, the first being that the public is skeptical of growing school budgets due to its already large size. Hamilton voters have often rejected increases in school budgets in their elections to keep already high taxes from growing higher. As a result, the board has been reluctant to authorize construction of housing that will increase the student population. Another reason is a series of improvements to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, the hospital is now a highly respected source of care in the state. It is situated next to where most of the land in the township used to be. As of October 2016, significant construction has been done to build up the Hamilton Township area. Multiple new retirement communities have been constructed, as well as new restaurants, banks, gas stations. Hamilton Township continues to expand rapidly to accommodate the increase in citizens residing in the community, as of the census of 2010, there were 88,464 people,34,534 households, and 23,759 families residing in the township.

–
Interstate 95 is an Interstate highway running from Miami, Florida, north to Houlton, Maine. In the U. S. state of Pennsylvania, the route is known by many as the Delaware Expressway and it runs 51 miles from the Delaware state line near Marcus Hook to the New Jersey state line crossing the Delaware River near Yardley on the Scudder Falls Bridge. It parallels its namesake Delaware River for its route through the city of Philadelphia. Of the 15 states that Interstate 95 runs through, Pennsylvania is the one that does not border the Atlantic Ocean. Plans for a route along the Delaware River in the Philadelphia area originated in the 1930s when both a parkway and elevated highway were proposed, neither of these were built. Construction on I-95 began in 1959 and was complete by 1979. The route was projected to run through the center of Trenton, New Jersey. In March 2008, large cracks were discovered on a support column in Philadelphia. I-95 passes through the Philadelphia metropolitan area, with much of the route in Philadelphia itself, Interstate 95 runs through a large portion of Philadelphia, most among the other major cities that I-95 serves. It passes under the Benjamin Franklin Bridge and near five other ones and crosses into New Jersey at the Scudder Falls Bridge, I-95 enters Delaware County, Pennsylvania, from Delaware near Marcus Hook, just north of its junction with the northern end of Interstate 495. The route interchanges with Chichester Avenue and Pennsylvania Route 452 before meeting U. S. Route 322, I-95 forms a concurrency with US322 that lasts until that route heads east for the Commodore Barry Bridge. I-95 continues through Chester, interchanging with Kerlin Street and Pennsylvania Route 320/Pennsylvania Route 352 before coming to the end of Interstate 476 at the edge of the city. It continues in an eastward direction paralleling Pennsylvania Route 291 through the suburbs of Essington and Tinicum, interchanging with Stewart Avenue, the road enters Philadelphia, where it comes to an interchange with PA291 that has access to the Philadelphia International Airport. East of the airport, I-95 crosses the Schuylkill River on the double-decker Girard Point Bridge, the road curves north, following the bend in the Delaware River, and runs along the waterfront, interchanging with Interstate 76 west of the Walt Whitman Bridge. I-95 continues through Northeast Philadelphia, interchanging with the Betsy Ross Bridge, north of I-276, I-95 interchanges with U. S. Route 1 Business/Pennsylvania Route 413 and U. S. Route 1. This current bridge structure, while structurally sufficient, is obsolete due to high traffic levels and is slated to be improved. An estimated 169,000 motorists utilize the road daily, however, planning for the proposed parkway system stalled and the plan was eventually abandoned. The planned highway was incorporated into the Pennsylvania Turnpike system, and was planned to be built as a toll road, however, with the advent of the Interstate Highway System in 1956, the project was turned over to the Pennsylvania Department of Highways and incorporated into Interstate 95

Delaware
–
Delaware is a state located in the Mid-Atlantic and/or Northeastern regions of the United States. It is bordered to the south and west by Maryland, to the northeast by New Jersey, the state takes its name from Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr, an English nobleman and Virginias first colonial governor. Delaware occupies the portion of the Delmarva Peninsula and is the second smallest, the sixth least populous. Delaware is divided into three counties, the lowest number of counties of any state, from north to south, the three counties are New Castle, Kent, and Sussex. While the southern two counties have historically been agricultural, New Castle County has been more industrialized. Before its coastline was explored by Europeans in the 16th century, Delaware was inhabited by groups of Native Americans, including the Lenape in the north. It was initially colonized by Dutch traders at Zwaanendael, near the present town of Lewes, Delaware was one of the 13 colonies participating in the American Revolution. On December 7,1787, Delaware became the first state to ratify the Constitution of the United States, the Delaware Indians, a name used by Europeans for Lenape people indigenous to the Delaware Valley, also derive their name from the same source. The surname de La Warr comes from Sussex and is of Anglo-Norman origin and it came probably from a Norman lieu-dit La Guerre. This toponymic could derive from the Latin word ager, from the Breton gwern or from the Late Latin varectum, the toponyms Gara, Gare, Gaire also appear in old texts cited by Lucien Musset, where the word gara means gore. It could also be linked with a patronymic from the Old Norse verr, Delaware is 96 miles long and ranges from 9 miles to 35 miles across, totaling 1,954 square miles, making it the second-smallest state in the United States after Rhode Island. Delaware is bounded to the north by Pennsylvania, to the east by the Delaware River, Delaware Bay, New Jersey and the Atlantic Ocean, small portions of Delaware are also situated on the eastern side of the Delaware River sharing land boundaries with New Jersey. The state of Delaware, together with the Eastern Shore counties of Maryland, the definition of the northern boundary of the state is unusual. Most of the boundary between Delaware and Pennsylvania was originally defined by an arc extending 12 miles from the cupola of the courthouse in the city of New Castle and this boundary is often referred to as the Twelve-Mile Circle. This is the only nominally circular state boundary in the United States, to the west, a portion of the arc extends past the easternmost edge of Maryland. The remaining western border runs slightly east of due south from its intersection with the arc, the Wedge of land between the northwest part of the arc and the Maryland border was claimed by both Delaware and Pennsylvania until 1921, when Delawares claim was confirmed. Delaware is on a plain, with the lowest mean elevation of any state in the nation. Its highest elevation, located at Ebright Azimuth, near Concord High School, the northernmost part of the state is part of the Piedmont Plateau with hills and rolling surfaces

New Jersey is a state in the Northeastern and mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. It is bordered on the north and east by New York, on the southeast and south by the Atlantic Ocean, on the west by Pennsylvania, New Jersey is the fourth-smallest state but the 11th-most populous and the most densely populated of the 50 United States. New Jersey lies entirely within the statistical areas of New York City. New Jersey was inhabited by Native Americans for more than 2,800 years, in the early 17th century, the Dutch and the Swedes made the first European settlements. New Jersey was the site of decisive battles during the American Revolutionary War in the 18th century. In the 19th century, factories in cities such as Camden, Paterson, Newark, Trenton, around 180 million years ago, during the Jurassic Period, New Jersey bordered North Africa. The pressure of the collision between North America and Africa gave rise to the Appalachian Mountains, around 18,000 years ago, the Ice Age resulted in glaciers that reached New Jersey. As the glaciers retreated, they left behind Lake Passaic, as well as rivers, swamps. New Jersey was originally settled by Native Americans, with the Lenni-Lenape being dominant at the time of contact, scheyichbi is the Lenape name for the land that is now New Jersey. The Lenape society was divided into clans that were based upon common female ancestors. These clans were organized into three distinct phratries identified by their animal sign, Turtle, Turkey, and Wolf and they first encountered the Dutch in the early 17th century, and their primary relationship with the Europeans was through fur trade. The Dutch became the first Europeans to lay claim to lands in New Jersey, the Dutch colony of New Netherland consisted of parts of modern Middle Atlantic states. Although the European principle of ownership was not recognized by the Lenape. The first to do so was Michiel Pauw who established a patronship called Pavonia in 1630 along the North River which eventually became the Bergen, peter Minuits purchase of lands along the Delaware River established the colony of New Sweden. During the English Civil War, the Channel Island of Jersey remained loyal to the British Crown and it was from the Royal Square in St. Helier that Charles II of England was proclaimed King in 1649, following the execution of his father, Charles I. The North American lands were divided by Charles II, who gave his brother, the Duke of York, the region between New England and Maryland as a proprietary colony. James then granted the land between the Hudson River and the Delaware River to two friends who had remained loyal through the English Civil War, Sir George Carteret and Lord Berkeley of Stratton, the area was named the Province of New Jersey. Since the states inception, New Jersey has been characterized by ethnic, New England Congregationalists settled alongside Scots Presbyterians and Dutch Reformed migrants

Interstate Highway System
–
The Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways is a network of controlled-access highways that forms a part of the National Highway System of the United States. The system is named for President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who championed its formation, construction was authorized by the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, and the original portion was completed 35 years later, although some urban routes were cancelled and never built. The network has since been extended and, as of 2013, as of 2013, about one-quarter of all vehicle miles driven in the country use the Interstate system. In 2006, the cost of construction was estimated at about $425 billion, the nations revenue needs associated with World War I prevented any significant implementation of this policy, which expired in 1921. In the plan, Mehren proposed a 50, 000-mile system, the system would include two percent of all roads and would pass through every state at a cost of $25,000 per mile, providing commercial as well as military transport benefits. As the landmark 1916 law expired, new legislation was passed—the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1921 and this new road construction initiative once again provided for federal matching funds for road construction and improvement, $75 million allocated annually. The Bureau of Public Roads asked the Army to provide a list of roads that it considered necessary for national defense. A boom in construction followed throughout the decade of the 1920s. As automobile traffic increased, planners saw a need for such a national system to supplement the existing, largely non-freeway. By the late 1930s, planning had expanded to a system of new superhighways, in 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave Thomas MacDonald, chief at the Bureau of Public Roads, a hand-drawn map of the United States marked with eight superhighway corridors for study. He recognized that the system would also provide key ground transport routes for military supplies. The publication in 1955 of the General Location of National System of Interstate Highways, informally known as the Yellow Book, assisting in the planning was Charles Erwin Wilson, who was still head of General Motors when President Eisenhower selected him as Secretary of Defense in January 1953. The Interstate Highway System was authorized on June 29,1956 by the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, popularly known as the National Interstate, three states have claimed the title of first Interstate Highway. Missouri claims that the first three contracts under the new program were signed in Missouri on August 2,1956, the first contract signed was for upgrading a section of US Route 66 to what is now designated Interstate 44. On August 13,1956, Missouri awarded the first contract based on new Interstate Highway funding, kansas claims that it was the first to start paving after the act was signed. Preliminary construction had taken place before the act was signed, the state marked its portion of I-70 as the first project in the United States completed under the provisions of the new Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956. The Pennsylvania Turnpike could also be considered one of the first Interstate Highways, on October 1,1940,162 miles of the highway now designated I‑70 and I‑76 opened between Irwin and Carlisle. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania refers to the turnpike as the Granddaddy of the Pikes, October 12,1979, The final section of the Canada to Mexico freeway Interstate 5 is dedicated near Stockton, California

Future Interstate Highways
–
Future Interstate Highways include various proposals to establish new mainline Interstate Highways in the United States. This does not include the numerous auxiliary Interstate Highways that are in various stages of planning, planned expansion of existing mainline interstates are also not included here. Several Congressional High Priority Corridors have been designated as parts of the Interstate System by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act. By law, they will become interstates when built to Interstate standards, Interstate 3 is the proposed designation of an Interstate Highway Corridor under development in the southeastern U. S. It is planned to run from Savannah, Georgia, to Knoxville and its number does not follow standard numbering conventions, under established numbering conventions I-3 would normally run west of I-5 along the Pacific Coast. The unnumbered Interstate was established by the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act, the Interstate 3 designation has not been officially accepted by AASHTO or the FHWA, but is being used by the Georgia Department of Transportation and others to identify the highway. The number comes from the 3rd Infantry Division which is based in Georgia, Interstate 7 or Interstate 9 has been proposed by Caltrans for State Route 99 in central California. This also serves as a connector to the northern portion of Highway 99. Interstate 11 is the designated route number for an Interstate connecting Phoenix, Arizona, to Las Vegas or Reno. Their rationale was that the Phoenix and Las Vegas metro areas were two of the largest urban regions in adjacent states not featuring direct Interstate connection, the corridor would be approximately 285 miles in length and would most likely subsume the existing I-515 freeway facility in the Las Vegas area. Plans to connect I-11 to the existing Interstate network in the Phoenix region have yet to be determined, the proposed routing for I-11 is part of the CANAMEX high-priority corridor. The projects contained within this portion of the overall Canamex corridor include the recently completed Hoover Dam Bypass project, at the same time, it extended the southern terminus of the corridor from Phoenix through Tucson to Nogales generally via the I-10 and I-19 corridors. The Regional Transportation Alliance expected this corridor to be called I-46 or another suitable designation. At a meeting in La Grange, North Carolina, on March 17,2016, the rationale for the I-50 numerical selection was cited as a number not in conflict with either an existing Interstate designation or currently applied to a U. S. Highway within North Carolina. This recommendation was forwarded to NCDOT for submission to AASHTO, for the AASHTO Special Committee on U. S. Route Numbering meeting in May 2016, NCDOT proposed I-36 for this route. However, AASHTO instead designated the route Interstate 42, in November 2012, NCDOT requested the addition of the corridor to the Interstate Highway System through administrative options with the Federal Highway Administration as I-44. Congressman G. K. Butterfield introduced legislation in June 2014 to add the corridor to the Interstate Highway System through Congressional authority and this corridor was officially designated as a future Interstate with the passing of the FAST Act. Had the I-44 designation been approved, it would have been discontinuous with the current I-44, however, subsequent review of available and preferred route numbers produced two other candidates, I-56 if an east–west designation was chosen, or I-89 if a north–south designation was chosen

The road then passes between homes to the north and rural areas to the south before becoming lined with farms on both sides, DE286 reaches its eastern terminus at DE15, which heads south on Choptank Road and east on Bethel Church Road, at a roundabout. DE286 has an average daily traffic count of 3,519 vehicles. None of DE286 is part of the National Highway System, by 1920, what is now DE286 existed as an unimproved county road. The road in Delaware was paved by 1936 and served as part of the route between Summit Bridge and Chesapeake City, Bethel Church Road from the state line east to DE15 was designated DE286 around 1994, extending the number from MD286.

Delaware State Route System
–
The Delaware State Route System consists of roads in the U. S. state of Delaware that are maintained by the Delaware Department of Transportation. The system includes the portions of the Interstate Highway System and United States Numbered Highways system located in the state along with state routes, DelDOT maintains a total of 5,386.14 miles of roads, comprising 89 percent of the roads within the state. Some large bridges in the state are maintained by agencies including the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. Roads in the system include multilane freeways, multilane surface divided highways, and two-lane undivided roads serving urban, suburban, some of the roads maintained by DelDOT are toll roads, in which motorists must pay to use. The first roads in Delaware were Native American trails and unpaved roads laid out by colonial Swedish and English settlers, from this time, counties were responsible for roads. In the 19th century, private companies operated several turnpikes radiating from Wilmington, Thomas Coleman DuPont proposed a modern road in 1908 to run the north-south length of the state, this road evolved into the DuPont Highway, which was completed by the state in 1923. The Delaware State Highway Department was formed on April 2,1917 to construct a highway system in Delaware. Numbered routes came with the creation of the U. S. Highway System in 1926, in 1935, the state took over the remaining county roads. In the middle part of the 20th century, several roads were widened into divided highways. The creation of the Interstate Highway System in 1956 led to the construction of 40 miles of freeway in northern New Castle County, the Delaware Route 1 limited-access toll road between Dover and Wilmington was fully completed in 2003, and was the largest public works project in state history. Routes in Delaware are numbered according to a numbering pattern. Interstate Highways that run north–south have odd numbers, increasing from west to east, while those that run east–west have even numbers, major north–south Interstates have numbers ending in 5 while major east–west Interstates have numbers ending in 0. Three-digit Interstates begin with odd numbers if they are a spur, as such, the major north–south Interstate along the East Coast, Interstate 95, passes through northern New Castle County. I-495 bypasses the section of I-95 that runs through the city of Wilmington, routes that run north–south have odd numbers, increasing from east to west, while those that run east–west have even numbers, increasing from north to south. Routes have numbers ending in 1 while major east–west U. S, routes have numbers ending in 0. Routes serve as branches of their parent route, as such, U. S. Route 13 runs north–south through the entire length of Delaware while US40, a major U. S. Route running from Utah to New Jersey, passes east–west through northern New Castle County. US113 serves as a branch of US13 in the part of the state. US9 is an exception to the pattern as it runs east–west across Sussex County, though the route runs north–south in New Jersey

Interstate 287 is an auxiliary Interstate Highway in the US states of New Jersey and New York. It is a beltway around New York City, serving the northern half of New Jersey. Through New Jersey, I-287 runs west from its terminus in Edison through suburban areas. In Bridgewater Township, the freeway takes a northeasterly course. The northernmost part of I-287 in New Jersey passes through mountainous surroundings, after crossing into New York at Suffern, I-287 turns east on the New York State Thruway and runs though Rockland County. A bypass around New York City had been planned since the 1950s and would become a part of the Interstate Highway System, the Cross-Westchester Expressway, which was originally designated as Interstate 187, opened in 1960 as Interstate 487 before later becoming part of I-287. The New York State Thruway portion of I-287, which included a crossing of the Hudson River, in New Jersey, the proposed I-287 had originally been designated as FAI Corridor 104 and incorporated what was planned as the Middlesex Freeway. The New Jersey section of I-287 between the New Jersey Turnpike in Edison and US202 in Montville opened in stages between the 1960s and 1973, the remainder opened in 1994. The aging Tappan Zee Bridge is due to be replaced with a new span — construction started in 2013, with opening scheduled for 2017. In addition, a tunnel across the Long Island Sound between Rye and Oyster Bay on Long Island would link the eastern terminus of I-287 to New York State Route 25. I-287 begins at an interchange with the New Jersey Turnpike in Edison in Middlesex County, New Jersey, within Middlesex County, I-287 is called the Lt. Col. Richard F. Lauer, US Army Highway. From this point, it heads west as a freeway through suburban areas. Past this point, the turns more to the northwest as it comes to the junction with Route 27. Following Route 27, I-287 narrows to six lanes and passes over Amtraks Northeast Corridor as it continues to a southbound exit, here, the road enters Piscataway Township and reaches an interchange with CR665. Continuing near more business parks, I-287 comes to the exit for South Randolphville Road, following this interchange, the road heads west more before it turns to the southwest and comes to an interchange with the northern terminus of Route 18. After Route 18, the comes to the CR622 exit. After crossing over the Raritan River, I-287 enters Franklin Township, Somerset County and becomes the Captain Joseph Azzolina, soon after the river, there is an interchange with CR527.
