The Dupont and Scott Circles are adjacent along Massachusetts Avenue north of the White House. Both have underpasses, and neither of those is along Mass. Ave. The Dupont Circle has 10 legs; it's the intersection of P and 19th, but NH, MA, and CT Aves. all meet there as well.


Southbound underneath the Scott Circle on 16th St. NW. There is recent construction on the northbound side that puts two-way traffic on the SB lanes.


Around the Dupont Circle, which is not and I don't believe ever has been US 29. The US 29 signs point up and down New Hampshire Ave., which does indeed meet US 29 (along K St.) at Washington Circle to the southwest but doesn't do anything to the northeast, petering out and turning into Florida Ave. I walked all the way around, so now I know these are all of the US 29 shields to be found in the circle.


Looking north along CT Avenue from Dupont Circle with a freshly paved underpass, then CT Ave. SB at the circle with another US 29 shield, and finally in the center of Dupont Circle. I zoomed out just far enough so that you can't see the, err, Romanesque detail of those fountain ladies.


Vertigo-inducing upward photo from the long escalator ride down to the Dupont Circle subway station. The DC subway system boasts the world's longest single-span escalator, but this isn't it - it's at the similar-looking Wheaton station.
