District of Columbia Route 295

District of Columbia Route 295 (DC 295), also known as the Anacostia Freeway, is a freeway in the District of Columbia, and currently the only numbered route in the District that is not an Interstate Highway or U.S. Highway. On its south end, it merges with Interstate 295 at the southern end of the 11th Street Bridges; its north end is at the border with Maryland where it continues as Maryland Route 201 and then the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.

DC 295, Interstate 295, and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, while administratively distinct, form one continuous freeway linking the southern portion of the Capital Beltway to Baltimore.

Mileposts continue the sequence of I-295 from the split. Frontage roads near the north end are known as Kenilworth Avenue, which is the name of MD 201 after splitting from the main freeway.

DC 295 is part of the National Highway System.
