Route Description
I-95 crosses from Massachusetts into New Hampshire in the town of Seabrook. There is a welcome center just north of the Massachusetts state line. The Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant is accessible via Exit 1. The highway then continues through the coast towns of Hampton Falls and Hampton, with state-run liquor stores just prior to Exit 2. I-95 interchanges with New Hampshire Route 101 (Exit 2) in Hampton, then comes to the barrier toll booth soon after. That interchange also contains the only ramp toll used by all traffic passing between the Turnpike and Route 101. Traffic using the Turnpike that does not pass by or use Exit 2 (i.e. anyone using exit 1 southward or exit 3 northward) does not pay a toll.
I-95 then continues through the towns of North Hampton and Greenland before entering the city of Portsmouth. Near the north end, a connection to the Portsmouth Circle provides access to U.S. Route 1 Bypass and the Spaulding Turnpike (U.S. Route 4/NH Route 16). I-95 crosses into Maine less than 2 miles (3 km) from the Portsmouth Circle.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
