20th Street (Washington, D.C.)
- 20th Street (Washington, D.C.)
Three streets in Washington, D.C. are designated Twentieth Street. They are differentiated by quadrant in the city's Cartesian-coordinate-based street-naming system. Twentieth Street east of the Capitol and north of East Capitol Street is called 20th Street Northeast. South of East Capitol Street it becomes 20th Street Southeast. The street to the west of the Capitol is called 20th Street Northwest.
Twentieth Street NE is near the residential neighborhood of Brookland. The more prominent 20th Street in Northwest originates at Constitution Avenue, near the Vietnam Memorial, and runs past George Washington University and the George Washington University Hospital in Foggy Bottom through the central business district and near Dupont Circle. It ends at Florida Avenue, although a discontinuous section lies farther north. Twentieth Street NW provides access between those areas and Interstate 66 via the E Street Expressway, which has its eastern terminus at 20th Street NW.
"Twentieth Street" sometimes appears on lists of place names in the District of Columbia because the Washington, D.C., post office has a station called Twentieth Street.
