 Richmond Beltway (I-295 and VA-288)
Likewise, Route 895 also filled the Interstate beltway function of providing a Richmond freeway bypass for traffic traveling between the I-85 corridor and the section of I-64 from east of Richmond to Williamsburg; formerly, the through traffic needed to follow I-95 and I-64, passing through downtown Richmond, if it wanted to stay on Interstate highways.
The Route 895 Pocahontas Parkway also provides a beltway route in this general corridor.
Construction began in October 1998 on the Route 895 connector between I-95 and I-295; and it opened in September 2002, so now the I-95/I-85 traffic has a beltway bypass around Richmond, using Route 895 and I-295, and the I-85/I-64 East traffic has a beltway bypass around Richmond, using I-95, Route 895 and I-295.

 Interstate Highway System in Virginia
I formerly had Interstate I-895 on this list for the Route 895 Pocahontas Parkway, because that was the designation that had been planned for it, but since the Commonwealth Transportation Board decided to designate it as Virginia State Route 895 when it opened in 2002, I deleted it from this list.
The Interstate Highway System in Virginia is 1119.27 miles long, and there are 6 mainline routes and 10 loops and spurs from the mainline routes.
In my above Route 895 article, I have a section Route Number Designation for Route 895 that discusses in detail why I think that it should be designated as Interstate I-895.

Interstate 895 was never constructed, but there is evidence at the I-95/295 half-cloverleaf interchange in Massachusetts that the 295 roadway was intended to continue.

I-95 followed part of the Turnpike north of the Portland I-295 split, but then crossed over the Falmouth Spur to take over the Portland-Brunswick route that I-295 had started.

Since over 90% of the funding for Route 895 is from private investors, with their investment to be recouped by tolls, I think it is wise for VDOT to increase the incentives for more people to use it; incentives such as an Interstate designation and a higher speed limit.
