Commuting

to & from the Fountains Condos

The Fountains is just a few traffic lights from Interstate 395, one of the major arteries of Northern Virginia and the Washington Metro area. From the Fountains, DASH buses (more below) follow I-395 to the Pentagon Metro and DC.

Interstate 395 doesn’t have Metro train service but it carries a massive load of traffic none-the-less. In addition to its 8 to 10 lanes of traffic, 395 has an extra 3 lanes of HOV that switch direction depending on the hour of the day. 395 leaves DC between the Pentagon and Crystal City (both in Arlington) and on the way out to I-95 and the Beltway at Springfield, I 395 passes Shirlington, Landmark, East Falls Church and other neighborhoods. Traffic on 395 is nearly always heavy but only slows during rush hour.
