Maine Avenue begins at 17th Street SW and Independence Avenue SW and continues southeast, parallelling the Tidal Basin to 12th Street SW where it crosses under Interstate 395. Continuing southeast, it runs parallel to the Washington Channel and Water Street SW, where it crosses 7th Street. At 6th Street SW, Maine Avenue ends, becoming M Street SW.
In 1861, Maine Avenue was a small street north and parallel to Maryland Avenue near Capitol Hill.
Interstate 695 was planned to be extended west of Interstate 395 along Maine Avenue. That project, like many proposed interstate highways in the District of Columbia, was canceled.[1]
