See article index with internal links.

There is a table of all Beltway interchanges, with the current exit number, the connecting road, and the original exit number. The "Final Design of Capital Beltway" section has one change, I added a map of the Capital Beltway segment through Rock Creek Regional Park of Maryland. The large version of the map is 1.6 megabytes in size, and it very clearly shows how the Beltway passes through the park, west and east of the MD-185 Connecticut Avenue interchange.
