Transportation communities nationwide are celebrating a significant milestone this year - the 50th Anniversary of our Nation's
Interstate Highway System. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 on June 29, 1956.
The three Interstate routes in Delaware, I-95, I-295, and I-495, comprise a total of 40.61 miles. I-95 is one of our Nation's main North-South transcontinental routes, stretching a total of 1,919.74 miles through 15 states and the District of Columbia. Delaware proudly claims 23.43 of those miles. Delaware's I-295 claim to fame is 5.71 miles, and I-495 includes 11.47 miles of First State roadway.
