original plans called for i-95 to travel through washington, d.c., and prince george's county, maryland, toward the northeastern portion of the capital beltway, from which i-95 presently continues its northbound route. however, neighborhood opposition in the district halted this plan in 1977, diverting planned funding toward construction of the washington metro. the only remnant of the maryland extension is a series of ramp stubs near college park, which now lead to a park & ride. the portion of i-95 within the beltway became i-395, while the eastern half of the beltway was re-designated i-95 (and, later, co-signed i-95/i-495). i-395 currently terminates in washington, d.c., at a traffic signal at u.s. route 50, which is new york avenue, near mount vernon square.
