Talk:Interstate 95 in Pennsylvania

Good article

I'm not bold enough to pass this myself, but I do think it meets the criteria. However, it's not ready for "featured" status yet, since the reliability of the roadgeeking sites that are cited could be questioned. -- NORTH ^talk 06:18, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree that it's got a long way to go to meeting the lofty FA standards, but I'd say it certainly mets the GA criteria. Regarding the reliability of the sources, both phillyroads.com and interstate-guide.com cite their sources, so I'd say they're reliable secondary sources. Krimpet (talk/review) 06:49, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, like I said, it's definitely good for GA. And, yes, they're good starting points as sources. It's just that in my work, I've found quite a few inconsistencies at nycroads.com, and interstate-guide.com tends to have a lot of speculation. When this article takes the next step, some more official sources would be good.

Interstate 295 (Delaware-New Jersey), which I expanded myself and passed through GA last month, has the same "problem". It's not really a problem, just something to keep in mind. -- NORTH ^talk 07:16, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

GA status

I was bold enough to join the project to review articles. I agree, it's good for GA. --myselfalso 21:37, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Missing Exit for 95/PA Turnpike Interchange project

The Exit list is missing the under construction exit for the Pennsylvania Turnpike/Interstate 95 Interchange Project. Could someone more knowledgable about the templates please add it? Acps110 ^{(talk • contribs)} 01:15, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

I added it to the exit list. Dough4872 01:53, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

GA Reassessment

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Interstate 95 in Pennsylvania/GA2. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

This article uses SPS for much of its history, and there is a deadlink in the refs. I will leave this open for 7 days, but will demote if no action is taken to fix the issues. --Rschen7754 22:27, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Demoted after no response. --Rschen7754 10:05, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Source for eight-laning up to Woodhaven?

I know about how the 95revive project is going to eliminate the lane drops at Girard, Cottman, and the Betsy Ross Bridge, but I can't find anything on the website about widening it from Academy (where the permanent lane drop is) to Woodhaven. It's a needed improvement, but I'm not sure that they're actually doing it. Does anyone have a source, or should the mention of that be removed? Roadsguy (talk) 20:18, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Coming back to this, I emailed PennDOT and they said there are no plans to widen 95 up to Woodhaven, so I edited the article accordingly. Roadsguy (talk) 21:27, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Welcome Centers

Nothing on the Welcome Centers and Weigh Stations? I realize there aren't that many of them on this road, hence no reason for a list, but they should be mentioned somehow. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 17:12, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Ehh, yeah Freddie, I realized that. I was just wondering how the mention of them should be dealt with. Perhaps with only two of them, I'll just make it part of the exit list. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 21:28, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

 Done ---------User:DanTD (talk) 21:36, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Interstate 295 in New Jersey now continues to Taylorsville Road in Pennsylvania.

Hello Fellow Wikipedians:

There is no longer an Interstate 95 Trenton Section. This section is now Interstate 295 from Exit 67 at U.S. Highway Route 1 (Brunswick Pike) to Exit 51 at Taylorsville Road in Pennsylvania. The changes have been made by the NJDOT (New Jersey Department of Transportation) from Exit 67 on Interstate 295 to Exit 2 on Interstate 95 (Trenton Section) at CR (County Route) 579 Beaver Tavern Road and by the DRJTBC (Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission) from Exit 2 on Interstate 95 (Trenton Section) at CR (County Route) 579 Beaver Tavern Road to Exit 51 at Taylorsville Road in Pennsylvania. See http://I95Link.com (I95Link.com ).--Myeabnwp (talk) 03:58, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

As of the end of June, it appears all the exit numbers and most signage have now been changed all the way to the under construction interchange with the PA Turnpike. Famartin (talk) 04:29, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

Yes, signs changed on what was I-95 north of Pa. Tpk.

I observed that personally in July 8, 2018 and wrote it up in talk page for Interstate 95 in New Jersey. Today (July 11), the interchange table for I-95 in Pennsylvania is still including what is now signed as I-295, with the I-295 Pennsylvania mileposts. No ramps are open yet at what is now I-95/I-295/Pa. Tpk. Carlm0404 (talk) 02:55, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Old Exits

Do we want to include the OLD old exit numbers, i.e. before PA converted to milepost-based exit numbering? I got to go on a behind-the-scenes tour of the flyover ramps yesterday, after which I drove up PA I-295 (née I-95), and noticed that north of the flyover ramps, they overlaid the "Old Exit" signs to put the 95-milepost exit numbers over the 95-sequential exit numbers that were there previously. --Tckma (talk) 14:27, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Mapframe map updates

The lines on the current interactive infobox map end just short of the actual northern Pennsylvania border. However, the lines being referenced in the map are a part of the article's Wikidata (Q933828), not the Wikipedia:Map data/Wikipedia KML/Interstate 95 in Pennsylvania. In checking through the Wikidata area, there's nowhere to actually edit the file to correct it. Could someone either add the coordinates to end it at the state line or direct me to where to actually edit the file? —Mr. Matté (^Talk/_Contrib) 13:35, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

It appears to have been fixed (may need to do a hard refresh) but no one seems to come forward and take their accolades for fixing it. —Mr. Matté (^Talk/_Contrib) 11:04, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

I had made a point to change the Map data file to curve on the new ramps, but it seems that wasn't good enough. If we're not going to use that, we might as well delete it. –Fredddie™ 13:23, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

Tire Fire

Hello, where would I add this fact? - https://billypenn.com/2018/07/13/two-decades-ago-10000-tires-caught-fire-in-port-richmond-and-melted-part-of-i-95/
