 Map of the George Washington Memorial Parkway The George Washington Memorial Parkway, known to local motorists simply as the G. W. Parkway, is a parkway maintained by the U.S. National Park Service. It is located mostly in Northern Virginia, although a short section near the Arlington Memorial Bridge passes over Columbia Island, which is within the city limits of Washington, D.C. It is in two sections, joined by Washington Street (State Route 400) in Alexandria, Virginia. A third section, the Clara Barton Parkway, runs on the opposite side of the Potomac River in the District of Columbia and Montgomery County, Maryland. A fourth section was proposed for Fort Washington, Maryland, but was never built. The parkway is designated an All-American Road. Image File history File links Broom_icon. ...

Northern section
The northern section extends from North Washington Street at First Street, at the northern end of Old Town Alexandria, to its terminus at Interstate 495, the Capital Beltway, in Fairfax County, just south of the Potomac river. It follows the Potomac River, passing through Arlington County, and serves as the primary access point to National Airport. The parkway also provides automobile access to Theodore Roosevelt Island, the LBJ National Grove, Gravelly Point Park, Fort Marcy, and Turkey Run Park. There are scenic view rest areas for those wishing to view the Georgetown skyline and Potomac Palisades. The cloverleaf interchange with the 14th Street Bridge, dating to 1932, is one of the oldest cloverleaf interchanges in the United States. Spout Run Parkway connects the George Washington Memorial Parkway to U.S. Route 29 and thus provides an indirect connection to Interstate 66. The part of the G.W. Parkway north of National Airport and State Route 233 is part of the National Highway System.
