Driving on Interstate 495, also known as the Washington, DC Beltway, in Fairfax County, Virginia, USA.

Driving on the Outer Loop of Interstate 495, also known as the Washington, DC Beltway, in Fairfax County, Virginia, USA. Interstate 495 is a massive, at least 8 lane (4 lanes each way), freeway that forms a loop around the U.S. National Capital City of Washington, DC, with sections in the U.S. states of Maryland, and Virginia (pictured here). It is notorious for its extremely high volumes of traffic, as is well illustrated by this picture. Fairfax County, Virginia is the most populated county in the U.S. state of Virginia, as well as in the entire Washington, DC-Baltimore metropolitan area, with about 1.1 million people, and is growing relatively fast in population. This photo was taken on Thursday, December 6, 2012, on the way to the Washington DC Dulles International Airport to pick up my grandmother from from her month-long thanksgiving vacation in her native Puerto Rico.
