This stretch of I-95 is very similar to I-95 between Baltimore and Washington (i.e., eight lanes with a wide grassy median). The road gets a lot of use but is in good condition. The approach to the Piscataqua River Bridge is very interesting, and the highway curves to the right as it ascends heading northbound to Maine.

Widened during the 1970's, the New Hampshire Turnpike is an important link between southern New England and the tourist areas of the New Hampshire Seacoast and Maine. The eight-lane turnpike is very safe and pleasant to drive, though it would be best to avoid the road on summer weekends. New high-speed EZ-Pass lanes also would help. (EZ-Pass was installed on the New Hampshire and Everett turnpikes during 2005.)
At less than 16 miles long, the New Hampshire Turnpike is reminiscent of the Delaware Turnpike. There's not much to I-95 through the state, but it really does cost you!
