Yet another DC interstate thread!
This map shows I-295 and I-695 "correctly" so it probably is a good source:
http://ddot.dc.gov/ddot/lib/ddot/information/maps/NHS_E_P.pdf
It also shows I-66 ending near the north end of the ramps to the E St NW interchange, rather than at US 29/Whitehurst Expressway. I suppose that means the extension I have to US 29 isn't really part of it, or else it means the map just colors it "non-Interstate" because what mainline is left to the north is just split into various ramps. Thought I'd ask here before deciding whether to truncate it or not for accuracy. I can't remember any useful details when I drove it this weekend. I was mainly distracted by all the curves, ramps, short tunnel under VA Ave., traffic, etc. |

IIRC, the 2004 (too dated for us, probably) Thomas Guide of DC shows the mainlines up to US 29. There's no easy way for me to get a current one here in Portland to check, though, short of ordering from Rand McNally... |

The FHWA Interstate route log, http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/reports/routefinder/ shows the DC portion of I-66 as 1.48 miles. That's the approximate road distance from the D.C./Virginia line to the westbound Whitehurst Freeway/US 29 onramp. It's only about 0.9 miles to the north edge of the E Street Expressway interchange, so that doesn't account for all of I-66's mileage within D.C.
I suggest leaving I-66 in D.C. as is. |
