Interstate 695 east
In southeast Washington, DC, Interstate 695 heads east from Interstate 395 as the Southeast Freeway, marked as going toward Interstate and D.C. Route 295. At right, exit 1A leads to South Capitol Street (the line between the city's southwest and southeast quadrants) and Nationals Park, the home of the Washington Nationals of Major League Baseball. ¼ mile away, exit 1B leads to 6th Street.

Ahead on the right, I-695 will receive traffic coming in from southbound I-395 and the 3rd Street Tunnel. Photo taken 04-28-2025.
After exit 1B, exit 1C will provide access to 11th Street and Southeast Boulevard. Photo taken 04-28-2025.

The movement to I-295 south toward I-95/495 is marked as exit 2A, and to DC 295 north toward U.S. Route 50 as exit 2B. The different designations are due to the Anacostia/Kenilworth Avenue Freeway - the portion of the corridor north of I-695 - being below Interstate highway standards. Photo taken 04-28-2025.
Meanwhile, after receiving an onramp from 8th Street, which does not have an offramp to it in either direction, I-695 curves sharp right. Photo taken 04-28-2025.
Now going due south, I-695 picks up a ramp from M Street beside the Navy Yard. Photo taken 04-28-2025.
The ramps to I-295 and DC 295 will diverge momentarily. Photo taken 04-28-2025.
