Aerial photo looking North towards Washington, DC, above Springfield showing the connection from Old Keene Mill Road/Franconia Road, Route 644 East/West approaching I-95 South/North, as well as traffic heading North to the Mixing Bowl where I-95/395/405 converge-- showing the major improvement in moving traffic directly from I-95 to the Capital Beltway Outer Loop toward Baltimore. By fall of this year, the new I-395 North bridge to Tysons Corner will open, providing motorists with a direct non-stop link from I-395 to I-495 North.

Aerial showing I-395 South, approaching the new ramps to I-95 South and to Springfield. Ramp on the right is from I-395 South to the Capital Beltway Inner Loop, I-495 North towards Tysons Corner. Also shown is the new I-395 South bridge to the Capital Beltway Outer Loop, I-495 East/I-95 North towards the WWB and Baltimore. Since this photo was taken, the new lane shift on I-395 South in this area took place and this shift will be reflected in the next series of aerials.
