Washington Outer Beltway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Washington Outer Beltway was a proposed freeway that would have extended further out than the Capital Beltway and encircled Washington, D.C. through the states of Maryland and Virginia. Most of the route was canceled in the 1980s.
Parts of it have been built as the following roads:
- Fairfax County Parkway in Virginia
- Intercounty Connector in Maryland, a toll road currently under construction. (The first segment opened to traffic in February 2011, and the second segment opened to traffic on November 22nd, 2011, thus linking Interstate 270 at Gaithersburg, MD to Interstate 95 at Laurel, MD). A third segment, which will link I-95 to US-1 in Laurel is to be completed by 2014. [1]
