| | Interstate 695 (Pennsylvania) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Known as the "Cobbs Creek Expressway" between SW Philadelphia and Interstate 76 and the "Crosstown Expressway" between I-76 and the waterfront, I-695 was designed to alleviate traffic off of both I-76, I-95, and Pennsylvania State Route 291. |
 | | The project was cancelled due to residential opposition in both SW Philadelphia, South Philadelphia, and residents of Yeadon, in Delaware County over the proposed Interstate's right-of-way, which would have "cut" their communities in half, and would have spelled an end to Cobbs Creek Park. |
 | | Interstate 695 was a proposed three-digit Interstate Highway that would connect Interstate 95 in Southwest Philadelphia, at the Philadelphia International Airport, with I-95 near the Delaware River waterfront near the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. |
