Photo by FHWA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It was on this day fifty years ago that the Capital Beltway was completed in Northern Virginia. I suppose many commuters would have found it opening a day earlier more apropos as the road seems more a burden than anything else and the SPEED LIMIT 55 signs to be a mockery. Back in 1964, most of Virginia&#8217;s 22 miles of Beltway was only 2 lanes wide each way. Now, with the HO\/T (high occupancy\/toll), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yurasko.net\/wfy\/2013\/02\/i-495-capital-beltway-express-lanes-losing-money-saving-time-for-some.html\">EZ-Pass Express Lanes<\/a>, it is <strong>6 lanes each way<\/strong> between Springfield and Tysons.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the Beltway wouldn&#8217;t be coined until 1969 (by <strong>Mike Causey<\/strong>, then of The Post, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.federalnewsradio.com\/632\/1551721\/Mike-Causey\">now with Federal News Radio<\/a>), but the highway formed a big wall literally and figuratively in Fairfax County and the City of Alexandria. There currently are only 23 automobile crossings of I-495 in Northern Virginia and 15 of them have full interchanges with the road, while another has a partial interchange with  lanes. Another one, Live Oak Road, is not a through route. The are also 3 Metro rail crossings (Orange, Blue and Yellow lines) and 2 Virginia Railway Express rail lines penetrate it as well. There are a few pedestrian\/bicycle trails too, but overall it is tough to get from one side of the Beltway to the other. A &#8220;bridge to nowhere&#8221; was built between Van Dorn Street and Telegraph Road, but it never became connected to anything and was torn down in the early 21st century.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/55676959@N00\/8669112483\/in\/photolist-ed4t7B-9uuZTD-9uy1Dy-9uuZNc-9uy1JA-gtdroV-6uTZBo-6uPVcz-6uUc53-7T4TaM-eCjZD-6uTTTY-6uTQhf-dbcN9x-dbcNEg-dbcRuG-dbcNKF-dbcR6m-dbcRoY-dbcNxB-dbcRB9-dbcRd1-dbcQZu-dbcNRn-dbcPBz-dbcSBb-dbcSVL-dbcS7s-dbcPHF-dbcPhv-dbcSd5-dbcSj7-6uPLak-6uTKTA-6uPLAM-6uPNhH-6uTWrQ-6uTJj7-6uTJ3y-6uPNsn-6uPJEz-6uPNC4-6uPFCF-6uPDYZ-6uPCuH-6uTPKG-6uTLku-6uPF5r-6uTUu9-6uQ5zV-4pGgAc\/player\/\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Beltway divides the sprawling newer suburbs with the more established and often denser populated pre-World War II areas like Arlington and Alexandria, whose residents don&#8217;t even necessarily think of the Beltway much. Tysons Corner, once a crossroads of two country roads grew into the 11th largest business district with two large shopping malls and a growing skyline most of which is just outside the Beltway. In fact when USA Today left Rosslyn for its own campus, I recall then publisher Tom Curley making it a point to mention in an interview that they&#8217;d be outside the Beltway. It really abuts the Beltway by the way or at least it did before they sold off their land with the softball field and path. I digress. <\/p>\n<p>Back in &#8217;64, the Virginia portion of the Beltway was signed only as Interstate 495 as Interstate 95 was then routed along the Henry G. Shirley Highway into Washington, D.C. over the 14th Street Bridge and planned to cut through Northeast D.C. and Takoma Park then onto points north. That didn&#8217;t happen and in 1977, the eastern-most portion of the Beltway in Virginia was changed to I-95. That proved to be confusing, so I-495 multiplexed back on the I-95 portion of the Beltway around 1989.<\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.yurasko.net\/wfy\/beltway\/495.gif\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.yurasko.net\/wfy\/beltway\/495.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>The original Beltway exit numbering began in Alexandria with Exit 1 at US 1 (note US 1 is also Exit 1 in several locations throughout the East, including just over the 14th Street Bridge on I-395) and increased sequentially clockwise until finishing off at Exit 38 for I-295 just east of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. Around 2001, the exit number was changed in Virginia for the first time (it had changed in Maryland after I-95 was moved to the southern and eastern portions of the Beltway) to be a counter-clockwise continuation of the Maryland numbering scheme that began east of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge all the way to the Springfield interchange (Exit 57) where I-95&#8217;s mileage-based exit numbering took over, the there is a jump from 57 to 172.<\/p>\n<p>The entire Beltway opened in August 1964, so I&#8217;ll have more to say then.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FURTHER READING<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dcroads.net\/roads\/capital-beltway\/\">Capital Beltway<\/a> &#8211; <em>dcroads.net<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was on this day fifty years ago that the Capital Beltway, Interstate 495,  was completed in Northern Virginia.
