Interstate 695 (abbreviated I-695) is a short connector route in the Bronx between I-95 (Bruckner Expressway) and I-295 (Cross Bronx Expressway) near the Throgs Neck Bridge towards Queens and Long Island. The highway, also known as the Throgs Neck Expressway, was completed in 1961 at a cost of $16 million and is an important connection to the Throgs Neck Bridge. Until 1971, the highway was signed as part of Interstate 78; signage then read I-295 until 1986. Note that the FHWA does not recognize I-695 as a separate Interstate, but still considers it to be part of I-295.
