History
A road linking Houlton to Woodstock has existed since at least 1927, and was numbered Route 5 between 1938 and 1951. The current Route 95 was constructed in the late 1970s and numbered Route 95 by 1981. By 1989, the intersection between Route 95 and Route 2 was converted into an interchange. In 2004, the New Brunswick Department of Transportation completed a CA$33 million construction project, turning Route 95 from a two-lane undivided highway to a grade-separated four lane freeway. The Province has contracted with Brun-Way Highway Operations to provide maintenance for the highway until 2023.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.”

“We said that the history of mankind depicts man; in the same way one can maintain that the history of science is science itself.”

“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
