This is Franconia’s single most outstanding feature. If you like interstate access, you have multiple connections to I-95, I-395, and I-495. If those roads are congested, you may choose from a great variety of alternatives from Route 1 to Telegraph Road to Beulah Street to Franconia Road. Franconia-Springfield Parkway provides another alternative to link to the west to circumvent I-495 congestion.
With Springfield, Van Dorn Street, Telegraph Road, and Route 1 entrances, I-495 provides easy access to Joint Bases at Andrews and Anacostia/Bolling via the multi-lane Wilson Bridge. Both are 20-25 minutes away in normal traffic with the slower rush hour eased somewhat by the bridge’s express/through lanes.
Metro can be accessed from stations at Springfield/Franconia, Van Dorn Street, and Huntington. Buses tie these stations into the community and Metro takes you rapidly to Reagan National Airport, Crystal City, the Pentagon, Rosslyn, and the District of Columbia.
