Interstate 95 Southbound
Interstate 95 travels along the Gold Coast of Georgia between Jacksonville, Florida and Hardeeville, South Carolina. The 112.00 mile freeway for the most part travels through rural environs to the west of the Brunswick and Savannah areas. A six-laning project widens the freeway from Richmond Hill (Exit 87) northward to the Palmetto State line.
