2 unusual facts about Delaware Turnpike


Interstate 95 in Maryland

Completed in 1963, the 48 mile Northeastern Expressway and the adjoining 11 mile Delaware Turnpike were dedicated by President John F. Kennedy on Thursday, November 14, 1963, at a ceremony at the Mason-Dixon Line.

Then I-95's run through Maryland comes to an end quickly after that exit, and it crosses the Delaware state line, becomes the Delaware Turnpike, and soon reaches the Newark toll plaza (in 2012, the MdTA installed signs prior to and at the MD 279 interchange informing motorists of the Delaware toll plaza ahead).
