The Pennsylvania Turnpike/Interstate 95 Interchange Project is a project in the United States to build an interchange where Interstate 95 (I-95) crosses the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Bristol Township, Pennsylvania. This will fill the gap that exists on I-95 through New Jersey due to the cancellation of the Somerset Freeway. The project also includes widening the Turnpike east of U.S. Route 1 (US 1) and rebuilding the Delaware River – Turnpike Toll Bridge, which connects Bristol Township with Burlington Township, New Jersey.
Construction began in November 2010 and will cost approximately $650 million. When completed, this will allow I-95 to be a continuous route between Philadelphia and New York City and finally complete the highway from Florida to Maine.

“Indigenous to Minnesota, and almost completely ignored by its people, are the stark, unornamented, functional clusters of concrete—Minnesota’s grain elevators. These may be said to express unconsciously all the principles of modernism, being built for use only, with little regard for the tenets of esthetic design.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
