Interstate 595 (I-595), also known as the Port Everglades Expressway and unsigned Florida State Road 862 (SR 862), is a 12.86-mile (20.70 km) auxiliary Interstate Highway that connects I-75 and Alligator Alley in the west with Florida's Turnpike, I-95, Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport, U.S. Highway 1 (U.S. 1), and SR A1A before terminating at Port Everglades in the east. The Interstate route was conceived in 1969 and planned as an Interstate starting in 1974. Construction began in 1984, with the freeway opening in stages in the late 1980s, with completion in 1991. The reversible tolled express lanes opened in 2014.
