Interstate 95 is a major interstate highway, running along the East Coast of the United States from Florida to Maine. In South Carolina, I-95 runs approximately parallel to the Atlantic Ocean shore although about 50 miles inland, from Hardeeville in the south to Dillon in the northeast.
At the south end of I-95 along the Savannah River, an elaborate gateway was built, that looks more like an entrance to a subdivision. The Juanita M. White Crosswalk also exists between Exits 18 and 21.
Interstate 95 shares a number of concurrencies with U.S. Routes in the state of South Carolina:
- US 17 is concurrent with Interstate 95 between Exits 22 and 33.
- US 15 is concurrent with Interstate 95 between Exits 93 and 102.
- US 301 is also concurrent with Interstate 95 across Lake Marion between Exits 97 and 102. The old US 15-301 bridge runs along the west side of I-95 and is used for recreational purposes.

[edit] Mark H. Coates Highway
The Mark H. Coates Highway is a one-mile portion of Interstate 95 located in Jasper County near Hardeeville and extends one-half mile on both sides of mile marker 7.
In May 1997, the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina passed a resolution to designate this section of Interstate 95 in honor of Lance Corporal Mark Hunter Coates, who served as a trooper with the South Carolina Highway Patrol from 1987 until his death in 1992. [1]
Coates, who was a native of Lexington County, South Carolina was fatally shot on mile marker 7 on November 20, 1992, while being in the line of duty. [2]
