We all know that 'ADC' Alexandra Drafting Co has published some of its
Washington DC map with incorrect markings of DC I 295, DC 295, Anacostia
Freeway, Kenilworth Ave and Baltimore Washington Pkway.

Correct me if I am wrong. As I see it Anacostia Freeway DC I 295 runs
from DC line north of Capital Beltway exit 2 to 11th street bridge, at
which point DC 295 begins but still is named Anacostia Freeway to East
Capital St. At East Capital St DC 295 Anacostia Freeway becomes
Kenilworth Ave to DC line in NE just south of the MD US 50 MD 201
Kenilworth Ave interchange. Beyond this interchange left lanes exit on
to Baltimore Washington Pkway right lanes continue on MD 201
Kenilworth Ave. The National Park maintained part of the Baltimore
Washington Pkway has no route number.

The intersection of Pennsylvania Ave and Minnesota Ave is called
L'Enfant
Square
