From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Interstate 695 was a proposed connection between I-287 and I-95 in central New Jersey. Under the original proposal for the Interstate Highways in New Jersey, I-95 would split from its current alignment north of Trenton and head cross-country on the Somerset Freeway to I-287, where it would run east to the New Jersey Turnpike (this last portion was officially designated as I-95, with corresponding exit numbers, but no I-95 signage). I-695 would branch off from I-95 as a shortcut to I-287.
I-695 was cancelled (or at least the designation was) when the I-95 fork to an intersection near the 5-mile mark was cancelled and I-95 was rerouted to the I-695 fork. When the Somerset Freeway proposal for I-95 was canceled in the 1980s, so was I-695.
