Virginia Roads - I-95/I-495 Lou C.

I-95 and I-495 (Capital Beltway) from Lou Corsaro


Photos are on I-95/495 southbound until I turn you around. For my photos from I-95/495, click here.


The Springfield Interchange from I-95 SB leaving the Beltway (I-495). There's more commentary on my 95/495 page, linked above and at bottom.












Six more photos of construction at the interchange, though only the last is actually from the Beltway. Note from my photos that I-395 is Exit 170B from the southbound direection but A from this direction. Maybe this has gotten corrected to make NB consistent - I took the SB side in December 2006.


Showing off the faded FOOD LODGING NEXT RIGHT.


Construction at Exit 177 (US 1). If you peer to the right in the last photo, you'll see that the end of the exit ramp has three-digit width shields.


The old lift tower on the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge, with the first new span rising behind it.








Four shots of Wilson Bridge construction - well, the first three are (first photo is the Washington St. underpass, which hints at a local/express configuration for the I-95/I-495 multiplex). The last photo is just a really old drawbridge signal assembly.


Vintage drawbridge gates.


I'm turning you around northbound now. This is where traffic will shortly rise onto the new span, and then a new sign mid-span. This will eventually be northbound-only, but for now it will carry two-way traffic with the same capacity as the current bridge, while the current bridge is replaced with the twin of this first one, which opened in June 2006.
