Interstate 695 (I-695) is the designation for three existing spurs of Interstate 95. Several more routes called I-695 were planned (including those around Boston and Philadelphia), but they were cancelled.
District of Columbia
I-695 is a secret route for the Southeast Freeway in Washington. It serves as a connector between I-395 and I-295. Plans were made to extend I-695 to the northeast to meet with DC 295 (which would've most likely extended the I-295 designation further up the Anacostia Freeway), but they were rejected by local government. A ghost ramp rests at the freeway's eastern end, and like I-170 in Baltimore, traffic is shunted to an exit ramp onto Pennsylvania Avenue. However, I-695 could still be extended to DC 295 in the future. There is no current timetable for it.
Maryland
Interstate 695 (Maryland) is also known as the Baltimore Beltway, it is a full beltway around Baltimore. It intersects I-95 on both its northeast and soutwest secions. It is also intersected or connected to I-70, I-83, I-195, I-795, I-895, US-1, and MD 295, the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.
New York
I-695 in the Bronx is a short connector route between I-95 and I-295 into Queens and Long Island.
