What better way to celebrate the start of a $1.4 billion highway project than with a classic mix of road songs? Weekend Edition's series "I-95: The Road Most Traveled" will explore the social, cultural, economic and environmental impact of the I-95 highway renovation project. We're taking care of the soundtrack.

This mix was chosen from a work in progress at Philadelphia's WXPN: the 885 Ultimate Road Trip Songs Countdown. Listeners have been asked to submit their Top 10 road-trip songs for a countdown this October, and these songs were selected from the thousands that have already been submitted. Contribute your own list here.

From Ray Charles and Bruce Springsteen to The Beach Boys and Richard Thompson, these 95 songs are sure to make the long trip more tolerable. It's full of classics that sound even better when you're stuck in traffic. You can even listen in your car via the NPR Music iPhone app — just select "Streams" at the top of the "Rock/Pop/Folk" channel.

Whether you're driving on I-95 or traveling your own personal highway, enjoy the mix of music and stories from "I-95: The Road Most Traveled."
