Interstate 95 Delaware - South Archive


All three sign bridges previously displayed a Left Lane Ends sign, an I-95 pull-through panel and an Exit 5 overhead for SR 141. 03/28/04

A resigning project underway in 1998 and 1999 reconfigured the travel lanes so that two lanes depart for the c/d roadway to SR 141 north to Newport and U.S. 202/SR 141 south to New Castle. 08/25/21

Replaced overheads at the Exit 5 c/d roadway beginning from the I-95 mainline. The pull through panel was replaced by 2010 and the remaining signs by 2012. 03/28/04

Interstate 295 southbound ends to the left just beyond the gore point for SR 141 (Basin Road / Newport Freeway). Three exits remain along I-95 south in Delaware. 09/27/14

The influx of I- 295 traffic onto I-95 expands the southbound freeway to five lanes overall. The left lane however ended a short distance before the Exit 5 c/d roadway return until 2008. This pull through sign was the first in a series between SR 141 and SR 7 at Churchmans Crossing. 08/07/04

The last state named shield posted on I-95 in Delaware was located by the SR 141 northbound overpass until 1996. 09/27/14

Southbound at the merge with the c/d roadway from SR 141. Routine congestion plagued this bottleneck until 2008. 05/19/07

A Delaware Turnpike / John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway sign took the place of yet another four-lane pull-through panel south of Exit 5 when it was added in the 1990s. 04/30/04
