I only meant to cite the single fact that instead of "extending from Miami to Maine" as the article said, I-95 has a missing segment in New Jersey. I meant no inferences about benefits to non-contiguous states, and I do consider it an integral part of the interstate vision and a true interstate highway (it crosses more than one state). My only point was that while so many people cite I-95 as going from Florida to Maine, a trivia buff will probably point out that it doesn't. Sorry if you read more in to my comment than I intended.

I'm the author. The article clearly states that I-95 benefits noncontiguous states such as Alaska, Hawaii and even the territory of Puerto Rico. By definition it is not a TRUE interstate highway. Yet you yourself state that the unconnected ends are both labeled as part of I-95. Just because they do not actually connect does not make them any less an integral part of the vision of the Eisenhower Interstate System. Hi Bill. I'm the author.

Southbound I-95 ends northeast of Trenton, NJ, and does not connect with the end of northbound I-95 north of Philadelphia. Routing disputes have confounded attempts to complete this important route for many years.

His recognition of the need to build a Highway System which would serve all Americans in Commerce, Travel and Military needs will benefit the US for many years. I hope that future generations will be made aware of the foresight of General/President Eisenhower. The signs identifying the EISENHOWER INTERSTATE SYSTEM on those Highways Honor the contributions of this outstanding American.
