The Capital Beltway is a 64-mile (103 km) Interstate Highway in the Washington metropolitan area that surrounds Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, and its inner suburbs in adjacent Maryland and Virginia. It is the basis of the phrase "inside the Beltway", used when referring to issues dealing with U.S. federal government and politics. The highway is signed as Interstate 495 (I-495) for its entire length, and its southern and eastern half runs concurrently with I-95.
This circumferential roadway is located not only in the states of Maryland and Virginia, but also crosses briefly (for about 300 feet [91 m]) through the District of Columbia, near the western end of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge over the Potomac River. The Beltway passes through Prince George's County and Montgomery County in Maryland, and Fairfax County and the independent city of Alexandria in Virginia.
The Cabin John Parkway, a short connector between I-495 and the Clara Barton Parkway near the Potomac River along the Maryland-Virginia border, is considered an Interstate spur (I-495X) by the Maryland State Highway Administration.

    Always be careful driving the beltway in MD. They drive very aggressively. And when driving the belway in Virginia always use the EZ pass lanes when you can. It's very much worth it. 👍🏻

    I was on the Beltway last year heading to and from Williamsburg Virginia, the traffic on the Beltway through DC was ridiculous and we had to get off 95 and go through Bowling Green back onto 95 and get on 295 and head to 64, now the driving through Jersey on 95 was absolutely insane because of a major accident on 46 Eastern Spur going towards the George Washington Bridge or GWB and the traffic on 46 Western Spur was also absolutely insane because of people trying to get away from the Eastern Spur of 46 heading into NYC, even the traffic on the George Washington Bridge was just insane because of people either continuing on 95 through The Bronx or people getting off to the Henry Hudson Parkway heading to either Riverside Drive, West 178th Street, or West 165th Street to get into Washington Heights, the traffic getting on 295 from US-50 in Delaware was also very busy because of people getting away from 95 to avoid traffic

    I want Mileage Mike to do some research for a possible video about why I-95 was not routed straight thru Washington, D.C.! I live in D.C. and I'm a trucker, and I'm a habitual map lover on top of all of that. When I look at the D.C. area on the map, I can't help but to wonder why I-95 was routed with the eastern portion of the I-495 loop/bypass instead of being routed straight thru D.C. from the southwest side, where it breals off, up to the northeast side where it reconnects and continues northeast. When you see it on the map, it will annoy you, I promise. Most major interstate freeways are routed straight thru the big city and normally have a loop around it, which are the bypasses, and they normally have their spurs that routes thru the city and straight into a city from differentsides and directions for whatever reasons. The only thing that I can think of as to why they did this is that they either didn't want to run it thru too much of national park land or didn't want to go thru rich people's areas. I would have thought that they didn't wanna run it past too many government buildings, but I-395 and I-695 does exactly that. So, what is the reason for it? I really hate inconsistencies in the interstate portal that goes against what's already set up in the portal. It just makes me cringe when I see these inconsistencies, lol! Hopefully, you will see this comment, and consider this if you haven't already done it. I haven't even watched this video yet. I just needed a videot hat was already about Washington D.C. to make this comment, but I'm finna watch it now!
