District of Columbia Route 295 (DC 295), also known as the Anacostia Freeway as well as the Kenilworth Avenue Freeway north of East Capitol Street, is a freeway in the District of Columbia, and currently the only signed numbered route in the District that is not an Interstate Highway or U.S. Highway. Also, DC 295 is one of the few city-level signed route numbers in the United States, along with Charlotte Route 4. The south end is at the junction of I-295, I-695, and the southern end of the 11th Street Bridges, though I-295 was originally part of DC 295. Its north end is at the border with Maryland where it connects to MD 295 (the Baltimore–Washington Parkway) and US 50 via MD 201.
