Interstate 695

Interstate 695

Interstate 695 links I-295 and the Throgs Neck Bridge with I-95 along the Bruckner Expressway within Bronx, New York. The 1.52 mile long route extends the Throgs Neck Expressway north from I-295 (Cross Bronx Expressway) at the Throgs Neck and Edgewater Park neighborhoods to I-95 between the Pelham Bay and Country Club communities.

I-695 was originally proposed along a loop following Whitestone Parkway and Hutchinson River Expressway from I-278 (Brooklyn Queens Expressway) in Brooklyn to the Bruckner Interchange in Bronx, New York. The route was later proposed along the planned Queens Interborough Expressway north from the proposed Cross Brooklyn Expressway (I-878) to I-278 along the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway in Queens. This was approved by the American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHO) on June 23, 1969. The Queens Interborough Expressway was never built, and I-695 was eventually reassigned to the Throgs Neck Expressway over I-295 Spur by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in 1986.
