Virginia Avenue

Virginia Avenue is a street in the Northwest, Southwest, and Southeast quadrants of Washington, D.C. Like other state-named streets in Washington, it diagonally crosses the grid pattern formed by lettered (east-west) and numbered (north-south) streets.Many famous landmarks are adjacent to Virginia Avenue, including the Watergate complex, George Washington University's former Hall on Virginia Avenue (which, even earlier branded as a Howard Johnson's hotel, served as the lookout point for the Watergate break-in in 1972), the Pan-American Health Organization, the Harry S. Truman Building (Department of State headquarters), the Main Interior Building (Department of the Interior headquarters), the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and West Potomac Park.The western terminus of Virginia Avenue NW is at the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway.Non-contiguous portions of Virginia Avenue are found in Southwest, paralleling the CSX railroad tracks, and Southeast, paralleling the Southeast Freeway.As of February 2021, the District of Columbia Department of Transportation proposes bicycle lanes for Virginia Avenue NW between Constitution Avenue and the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway.
