March 2004

Aerial view of the Springfield Interchange looking south along I-395 leading to the beltway and south onto I-95S through Springfield. Photo shows the completion of the new I-395S ramp exit to the beltway heading onto I-495N towards Tysons Corner. To the left is the new B610 bridge that will open in late spring/early summer taking I-95S motorists from the beltway's inner-loop directly onto I-95S. These motorists will no longer have to exit in Springfield and 'mix' with traffic exiting from the outer-loop and I-395S traffic heading into the "mixing bowl."

Photo on top of the new B610 bridge that will take beltway inner-loop motorists heading south of Springfield on I-95S towards Richmond. The new bridge is expected to open in late spring/early summer 2004. Below the bridge on the left is current earthmoving operations making room for a series of immense bridges that will rise up in this area.

Photo in early March 2004 from the top of the Springfield Tower Building looking at the new B610 bridge coming around from the beltway's inner-loop taking motorists out of the mixing bowl and placing them on their own lanes heading south of Springfield/Franconia on I-95S towards Richmond. This bridge will have two lanes and two emergency shoulder lanes. This bridge is expected to open to traffic in late spring/early summer 2004.
