Washington Outer Beltway

Washington Outer Beltway

The Washington Outer Beltway was a proposed freeway that would have extended further out than the Capital Beltway and encircled Washington, D.C. through the states of Maryland and Virginia. Most of the route was canceled in the 1980s.

Parts of it have been built as the following roads:

  • Fairfax County Parkway in Virginia
  • Intercounty Connector in Maryland, a toll road currently under construction (first segment opened to traffic in February 2011)
