Can't get enough of this stretch of 95! It's easily in my top 5 favorite urban freeways. U2 was a very nice touch as well. I didn't see that coming from you. :-)

Ah, my hometown! Great video, Jim! I-95 was supposed go through DC but NIMBY opposition killed that, so it was realigned in 1977 along the eastern half of the Beltway. Neither the Beltway nor the original Springfield interchange, a dinky cloverleaf, were designed for long-haul traffic, so it had to be rebuilt. The Wilson Bridge had to be rebuilt, too, and they just finished that 4 years ago. The new bridge is a work of art. Check that out in a future video, perhaps.

I remember the ramp from I-95 northbound to the inner loop of the Beltway was a cloverleaf ramp which dumped you on the left lane of the beltway which required weaving from lane to lane

95 north in northern VA is always a parking lot at times those HOV lanes helps a great deal until you get down to Dumfries Va. That springfield interchange is awesome
@PGHammer21A5 жыл бұрын
That is because it has been redone (Springfield Interchange Project) - one of THREE major projects along this route. The other two are the 495 Express Lanes and the Wilson Bridge Project - to the left and right of the Springfield Interchange Project, respectively.

Oh sure, I'll just hop in my car and go 2,500 miles, film it and come back to Atlanta, lol. Seriously, I have never been out west but I hope to get out there some day.

When I lived in Atlanta, I always complained about 285 and that section of 85 in Gwinnett County plus 75 in Henry County, BUT 95 in Northern Virginia is the 9th Circle of Hell, especially on a holiday weekend! And this is coming from someone who used to live off the 405 in LA!

I-495 is posted as North when it runs concurrent with I-95, it actually runs east-west at the Springfield Interchange. But in the next video coming you'll notice that coming to the Springfield Interchange from Tysons Corner I-495 is posted as south, go figure?

What was VA secondary 3000 is now VA 278 - it is still called the Fairfax County Parkway/James Herrity Parkway; it is limited-access from I-95 to VA 7 in Reston. I hope you get to drive it in a future trip, as it IS worth it.(I had my doubts until getting to take it in the eastern direction - from US 50 to I-95; it makes for a less-painful alternative to the Beltway between the same two roads.)

3:30 That's what HOV Lanes are for! I tried that once in Hartford. 4:22 Wait, I'm confused. First, I see "495 East," but then I see "495 NORTH?" Impressive video! I can't wait to see what it's like to drive I-395 through the tunnels in DC!

It should be inner or Outer loop to avoid confusion on the beltway

Exit 163 is where the AMTRAK Auto Train Lorton Terminal which is Northern Terminus for the AMTRAK Auto Train which is a 865 mile nonstop train route connecting Lorton, VA (Washington, DC area) with Sanford, FL (Orlando Area) as this is the train where your car goes along with you is located.

Because it wasn't always; I-95 had a break in the vicinity of the Airport and through Philadelphia proper. It STILL has one in New Jersey in greater Trenton. The Airport break I remember, as it included the Airport proper and ran north to both the Walt Whitman and Ben Franklin Bridges. Both that and the Blue Route (I-476 from Chester to King of Prussia) had massive community opposition.
