Interstate 295
Interstate 295 nips the state of Maryland for 0.80 miles between the District of Columbia and the Capital Beltway at Oxon Hill. I-295 connects the Anacostia Freeway in Washington with I-95/495 and Maryland Route 210 (Indian Head Highway) to the south.

I-295 north from the Capital Beltway along the Anacostia Freeway to E Capitol Street was constructed over a seven year period finished on August 7, 1964. Further lengthening of the freeway occurred in 1990, when a 1.7 mile extension opened southeast from the Beltway to MD 210 (Indian Head Highway) at Oxon Hill.1
The short stretch of I-295 in Maryland was reconstructed in conjunction with the new Woodrow Wilson Bridge for I-95/95. This included an extension of ramps south to National Harbor Boulevard. Overall work was completed in 2009.
