Interstate 295 (abbreviated '''I-295''') in New Jersey and Delaware is a bypass route from a junction with Interstate 95 south of Wilmington, Delaware to a junction with I-95 north of Trenton, New Jersey . The route runs parallel with the New Jersey Turnpike for most of its course. Interstate 295 is sometimes called the ''South Jersey Expressway.'' I-295 crosses the Delaware River via the Delaware Memorial Bridge , which is actually two Suspension Bridge s carrying traffic in opposite directions. One bridge carries traffic from Delaware to New Jersey , while the other span carries traffic from New Jersey to Delaware. At the north end of the Toll Bridge a connection is provided with the south end of the New Jersey Turnpike. The Delaware Memorial Bridge is the only toll portion of the facility.

Even though Pennsylvania is building an intersection between the PA Turnpike and I-95, no such exit exists in New Jersey between I-295 and the PA Turnpike Extension. In other words, I-295 crosses over its parent without an intersection and (for now) ends at the other I-95 northeast of Trenton. The only way to access its parent (in New Jersey) will be to take Interstate 195 eastbound to exit 6 to enter Interstate 95 / New Jersey Turnpike . All of this is because the Somerset Freeway in central New Jersey, which would have made I-95 a continuous highway, was not built due to community opposition and environmental concerns. LENGTH
