Southern Terminus

This is where I-95/495 actually crosses the state line, just on the new Woodrow Wilson Bridge leaving Alexandria, which I-95 has used to enter Maryland since 1977.   Photo by Adam Froehlig, taken December 6, 2008.

This is where Maryland identifies itself, nearly all the way across the river.   Photo by Adam Froehlig, taken December 6, 2008.
