Interstate 95 in Georgia - Route Description

Route Description

All of Interstate 95 in Georgia has three lanes in each direction, except in the Brunswick area where it has four lanes in each direction. From northern Florida to west of Savannah, Interstate 95 travels along the US 17 corridor, passing near or through marshlands, and is close to the Atlantic coastline.

The State Welcome Centers on both ends of I-95 are integrated with other interchanges. The northbound Welcome Center is built into the northbound off-ramp with Exit 1, while the on-ramp from here runs under a bridge beneath the same off-ramp before leading back onto northbound I-95. The southbound Welcome Center can be found just after the off-ramp for first southbound truck weighing center, only for both facilities to share an on ramp back to southbound I-95. Other rest areas, weigh stations, and visitors centers operate independently with no access to any other facilities or destinations.

I-95 intersects Interstate 16 near Savannah (Exit 99 A & B). Ramps to and from the eastbound lanes of I-16 feature barrier gates to prevent traffic from entering I-16 in the wrong direction during contraflow lane reversal for hurricane evacuations.

The only auxiliary route for I-95 in Georgia is a Business Loop in Darien. Another Business Loop used to exist for Brunswick however.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:

    “no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
    or thought:
    no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
    terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
    of escape open: no route shut,”
    —Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)

    “God damnit, why must all those journalists be such sticklers for detail? Why, they’d hold you to an accurate description of the first time you ever made love, expecting you to remember the color of the room and the shape of the windows.”
    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
