[edit] Route description
From Virginia, U.S. Route 29 enters the District of Columbia on the Key Bridge. It then bypasses Georgetown on the Whitehurst Freeway. Route 29 then travels along K Street, N.W., through downtown Washington. From K Street, Route 29 turns left at 11th Street, N.W., then right at Rhode Island Avenue, N.W., and then left at 7th Street, N.W.. Route 29 follows 7th Street, which becomes Georgia Avenue, out of the District and into Maryland.
[edit] Junctions
At the eastern terminus of the Whitehurst Freeway, Route 29 meets the eastern terminus of Interstate 66.
[edit] Former routes
Various alignments of Route 29 used to exist, including segments along New Hampshire Avenue, Dupont Circle, 16th Street, and Alaska Avenue, N.W.
[edit] Proposed route
Interstate 266, if built, would have had either a junction or a concurrency with Route 29.
