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.
