Interstate 195 (I-195) is a 4.42-mile-long (7.11 km) auxiliary Interstate Highway connecting I-95, its parent route, in the west with Miami Beach in the east. It crosses Biscayne Bay by traveling over the Julia Tuttle Causeway. The causeway is named after Miami founder Julia Tuttle.
It is part of the longer State Road 112 (SR 112), which continues to the west as the Airport Expressway and to the east as Arthur Godfrey Road (41st Street).
As part of a pilot program, the Florida Department of Transportation painted the shoulders as bike lanes east of US Highway 1 (US 1). Pedestrians are still prohibited.
