Improvements: 4 lane freeway throughout at inception.
I-95 was 6-laned from I-20 Florence to SC 327 in 2003.
Comment: I-95 was controversal because Charleston wanted it to run closer to it. Also, South Carolina originally had it running via Society Hill, Bennettsville, and McColl. What got I-95 to run the way it actually does is that North Carolina already set I-95 to US 301, the Feds said it had to serve Savannah GA, and crossing Lake Marion had limiting options.
I-95 is relatively quiet in South Carolina, especially south of Florence. Other than Florence I-95 doesn't pass near any large towns - it is a 200 mile ride through the swamp for the most part.
I-95 received its exit numbers in 1976.
In the early-mid 80s, a proposal to build an interstate parallel to I-95 that would've run from Walterboro east to Summerville and Moncks Corner, than north back to I-95 in the Florence-Dillon region started appearing in the Charleston Post-Courier. A number was never suggested, and the proposal never got serious interest.
The fact that I-95 clips a tiny piece of Marlboro County is not signed in the field.
