OKRoads.com -- Delaware Highway Guides -- Interstate 295

At only two miles long, Interstate 295 is the shortest interstate in Delaware, but it continues east of the Delaware Memorial Bridge into New Jersey, where it then heads north at the New Jersey Turnpike and serves as a toll-free bypass of the Philadelphia area for Interstate 95 travelers. Interstate 295 North ends where Interstate 95 South begins in Trenton, New Jersey. This odd situation will be remedied with the completion of an interchange in Bristol, Pennsylvania, at Interstate 95 and Interstate 276.

Interstate 295's interchanges in Delaware are not numbered. The interchanges are for Interstate 95, Interstate 495, U.S. 13/40, and DE 9.

	"Welcome to Delaware" sign on Interstate 295 South. The highway is signed north-south in Delaware, but actually runs east-west. The toll booth for the Delaware Memorial Bridge is just ahead. It costs $3 for a 2-axle vehicle to cross a bridge! (Photo taken 3/19/03)

	Interstate 295 South at DE 9 South - New Castle exit. The sign for the DE 9 North exit (which is actually here-shouldn't that be on the gantry instead?!) is just past the sign bridge. (Top photo taken 3/19/03, bottom photo taken 8/4/03)
