Wisconsin Avenue partially coincident with Maryland Route 355
Route
Originally a Native American trail, it was used by Europeans since the 1690s. From the Georgetown riverfront, Wisconsin Avenue climbs steeply north through Northwest D.C. along two travel lanes, with parked vehicles continuously filling both curb lanes. The Avenue then passes through the neighborhoods of Glover Park, Cathedral Heights (next to the Washington National Cathedral), Cleveland Park, Tenleytown and Friendship Heights with its several broadcasting towers. While in Friendship Heights, Wisconsin Avenue intersects with Western Avenue (which forms much of the Northwest border of Washington, D.C.) and then crosses into Montgomery County, Maryland. In Maryland, the road is also alternatively known as Maryland Route 355. As Wisconsin Avenue passes through Bethesda it forms one of the main streets of the downtown area.
Just north of downtown Bethesda, at the intersection with Glenbrook Parkway, its name changes to Rockville Pike and continues north.
