- Simplest way is 295 South, hit howard ave. follow the green
- signs to DC. that puts you on the Frederick Douglas Bridge. then look
- out you are on south capitol st and watch for the 395 ramps.
-
- Now what has made this whole process really interesting is that
- howard ave was closed for 2.5 years while they built the green line,
- so you had to get off on the anacostia parkway going through the edge of barry farms. a notable high murder zone.
-
- then this past two wyears they have been rebuilding the SE/SW expressway
- frocing you to skip ramps and crawl around on surface streets. a dicey
- proposition if you dont intimately knwo that area. the grid is heavily cut
- up by federal buildings rail and express ways and bridges.
-
- hopefully this is mostly complete and wont be repeated for another 18 months.
