State Route 95, also known as SR 95, is a north-south state highway along the western edge of Arizona that is split into two sections.

[edit] Route description
The southern segment begins in Quartzsite at its junction with U.S. Route 95, traveling north to Parker then following the Colorado River until past Lake Havasu City, and finally intersecting Interstate 40. The northern segment (the Mohave Valley Highway) begins at the Colorado River bridge across from Needles, then goes directly northbound to Bullhead City, terminating at its junction with State Route 68 north of town.[1]
There is a short SR 95 SPUR at Parker connecting to California State Highway 62; this is one of the few marked spur routes in the Arizona state highway system. Another spur exists at Parker Dam, and a business spur exists at Lake Havasu City, though neither is marked. In Lake Havasu City, SR 95 also connects to London Bridge.[1]
As the primary north-south highway through much of the Arizona side of the Colorado River, SR 95 is an important thoroughfare for residents in the cities and towns of that area.[1]
[edit] History
Formerly, SR 95 began in San Luis and ended in Bouse; the road south of Quartzsite was renumbered as part of US 95, while the road to Bouse was turned over to La Paz County to maintain. The current road is largely comprised of former US 95 alignments that were replaced when that highway was realigned to the west within California.
