Military Road (Washington, D.C.) is a 3.2 mile road constructed during the American Civil War to connect military forts on the northern defensive line of the District of Columbia. It exists today as an east-west two-lane road connecting Georgia Avenue to the Wisconsin-Western Avenue intersection on the northwest DC-Maryland border. During the Civil War, the road served to connect Fort DeRussy and Fort Stevens and served as a conduit for ammunition, supplies and reinforcements during the Battle of Fort Stevens on July 11–12, 1864.
