Interstate 95 Business is a business loop of Interstate 95 entirely within Cumberland County, North Carolina. It runs from nearby Hope Mills to Eastover, passing through the eastern side of downtown Fayetteville.
The entire route, except for two short segments at its northern and southern termini, is concurrent with U.S. Route 301. The 16-mile (26 km) route is partly an expressway and is an urban boulevard in downtown Fayetteville. In downtown Fayetteville, I-95 Business is cosigned as Eastern Boulevard.
At each terminus, access from Business 95 to I-95 is limited. For example, at the southern terminus, drivers on Business 95 heading south can only merge with I-95 south, while at the northern terminus, drivers on Business 95 heading north can only merge with I-95 north.
Established in 1978, and almost entirely overlapped with US 301, it was created to connect an incomplete gap of Interstate 95, from nearby Hope Mills (exit 40) to Eastover (exit 56). When Interstate 95 was completed east of Fayetteville in 1983, large signs at the entrances of I-95 Business were erected to promote the businesses that were bypassed along the mainline.
