New Brunswick Route 95

Route 95 begins at the Houlton–Woodstock Border Crossing on the Maine–New Brunswick border as an extension of I-95. The border between the two countries also marks the border between the Eastern Time Zone and the Atlantic Time Zone.{{cite map|url=http://nist.time.gov/images/US_time_zones.gif|title=Time Zone Map|publisher=National Institute of Standards and Technology|access-date=22 January 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150607173353/http://nist.time.gov/images/US_time_zones.gif|archive-date=7 June 2015|url-status=dead}} The highway travels northeast through woodlands as it approaches its first interchange with Route 540 via a hybrid diamond interchange/partial cloverleaf interchange, providing access to the towns of Richmond Corner and Belleville. Continuing east, the highway crosses over Plymouth Road before intersecting an eastbound exit for Vivglenn Road, which connects to Route 555. The final exit on the highway is a trumpet interchange with Route 2, which is the main route of the Trans-Canada Highway through the province, in Woodstock.{{google maps|url=https://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=NB-95+E&daddr=Unknown+road&hl=en&geocode=Fdz2vwId6731-w%3BFURFwAIdKmL4-w&gl=us&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=16&sll=46.155088,-67.605915&sspn=0.004429,0.013797&ie=UTF8&ll=46.13298,-67.689857&spn=0.0709,0.220757&z=12|title=Route 95|access-date=December 16, 2010}}
