The highway passes through Prince George's County and Montgomery County in Maryland, and Fairfax County and the City of Alexandria in Virginia.
However in 1989, the Interstate 495 designation was restored to the eastern beltway so that the highway would carry a consistent number for its entire length. AASHTO affirmed the restoration of Interstate 495 as a circular route at its route numbering committee meeting on June 10, 1991.
