Interstate 695 (I-695) was an auxiliary Interstate Highway that was proposed in 1964 to connect I-95 in Southwest Philadelphia, at the Philadelphia International Airport, with I-95 near the Delaware River waterfront near the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. Known as the Cobbs Creek Expressway between SW Philadelphia and I-76 and the Crosstown Expressway between I-76 and the waterfront, I-695 was designed to provide connections to the Philadelphia International Airport and become part of a Center City Loop, with the Crosstown Expressway being the southern section of that loop (Schuylkill was going to be the west section, Vine Street as the north, and Delaware Expressway as the east section).
