Probably right on the cause of the traffic jam, & that explains
the T-shirt hawkers too.

But the I-numbers are like this: 295 runs only from the Beltway
at a point east of the Woodwrow Wilson bridge north to the 11th
Street bridge crossing the Anacostia. At that point or possibly
a little further north, at the Pennsylvania Avenue crossing
(Sousa Bridge) it ends. From there, Kenilworth Aveneue goes
north along the east side of the Anacostia. I-395 starts at the
11th St bridge and runs west to the 14th Street bridge that
crosses the Potomac back into Virginia, where it is the 395 that
most people are familiar with. 

I didn't realize that I-295 ends at Penn. Avenue until I gave
directions to people coming from Va to "come north on 295."
The District govenment recently designated Kenilworth to be
D.C. 295, apparently the only numbered "state" highway in the
District.
