=Infobox and lead=

  • No major issues. I was caught by the statement that the turnpike begins "near" the Massachusetts state line, but I see that is where the tolling begins.

=Route description=

  • Confused about the liquor stores. Since this sentence says the Interstate crosses two state highways without interchanges, how are they accessed?
  • Split to avoid confusion. The liquor stores have exits, while the other highways do not (which is typical for a turnpike).
  • Is "Hampton outlet" a proper name? If this refers to something in the town of Hampton, move the link to the town here.
  • Not a proper name. Link moved.
  • Change second use of "NH 101" to "This highway" or something else.
  • Shifted things a bit to have all NH 101 information contained within one sentence.

=History=

  • In final sentence of first paragraph, change "was" to "were" and consider linking NH 1 to the history section of U.S. Route 1 in New Hampshire.
  • Done, but with some added filler to prevent confusion.
  • Change "was opposed" to "faced opposition" and comma after "beaches".
  • Done, with some reworking for better flow.
  • Does "limited exits" mean limited-access, or a limited number of exits?
  • The latter has been added.
  • {{tq|State highway engineer Daniel Dickenson resigned from their positions}} - did someone else also resign? If not, change to "his position".
  • Fixed.
  • {{tq|Morse was later fired from his position by Frank Merrill, the new state highway commissioner following the resignation of Frederic E. Everett.}} - how much later was this firing. Was Everett's resignation also a result of this scandal?
  • Removed Everett.
  • I've never heard of 24-ft wide lanes. Maybe 12 ft lanes?
  • The source is inconsistent, so I've opted to remove the measurement entirely.
  • Was the Massachusetts spur built at the same time?
  • Not clear in the sources.
  • Consider mentioning that the I-95 designation was applied to the turnpike when AASHO approved the numbering in August 1957.
  • The month is not as important here.
  • Was the US 1 Bypass ever designated as part of I-95, despite not meeting interstate standards?
  • Not clear from the sources I have on hand.
  • Change "constructed" to "reconstructed in the sentence about the 1968 widening projects. Also, was this a Massachusetts project?
  • Using "rebuilt", and unsure about jurisdiction here. If it's not in the newspapers, I'm in the dark.

=Tolls=

This certainly isn't a requirement, but a lot of articles about toll roads contain a history of the toll fares, and their inflation-adjusted price.

:I consider that to be excessive, especially for a non-system article. The initial toll is already mentioned and it should be enough for a non-enthusiast.

=Exit list=

  • Is "All Maine Points" a proper name? Is this also what the signs say?
  • It matches the signage.

=References=

  • Citations 7, 9 are dead
  • Added archived links.
  • Citation 26 links to only one of two pages.
  • Added link in page parameter; the main bulk of the cited content is on the third page.
  • Add {{para|agency|Associated Press}} to citations 32 and 52.
  • Fixed. SounderBruce 03:47, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

=General comments=

  • Images are properly licensed.
  • Passes the [https://copyvios.toolforge.org/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&title=Interstate+95+in+New+Hampshire&oldid=&action=search&use_engine=1&use_links=1&turnitin=0 Earwig test].
  • No more issues. Passed.
