Interstate 95 (I-95) is a major Interstate Highway, running along the East Coast of the United States from Florida to Maine. In North Carolina, I-95 runs diagonally across the eastern third of the state, from Rowland at the South Carolina border to Pleasant Hill at the Virginia border. From south to north, the route passes through or near the cities of Lumberton, Fayetteville, Wilson, Rocky Mount and Roanoke Rapids. The entire route is rural, forming the informal border between the Piedmont and Coastal Plain regions of the state. There are three auxiliary routes for I-95 in the state: Future I-295, a partially completed bypass of Fayetteville, I-495, a partially completed connector route between Rocky Mount and Raleigh that follows the current U.S. 64 freeway, and I-795, a spur route connecting I-95 to the city of Goldsboro.
