As of 2005, central Springfield was dominated by the over half-billion dollar Springfield Interchange highway project. The interchange is popularly known as ''The Mixing Bowl'' since it involves three interstates, has two exits less than a half mile away, has two unconnected roads (Commerce Street and VA-644 (Old Keene Mill Road / Franconia Road)) going over or under the interstates less than a half mile away, and is further complicated by the presence of a separate, reversible HOV lane passing through the center of two of the interstates. This project has been completed as of July 2007, and was dedicated on July 18, 2007 by current Governor Timothy M. Kaine. The eight-year, $676 million Springfield Interchange Improvement Project was finished on time and on budget, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).
Springfield's emblematic destination point is Springfield Mall, a large indoor shopping mall. It is typical of American shopping malls in its variety of stores, along with several "anchor" stores such as Macy's, two movie theaters, and a food court. This mall's "DMV Express" office was where two of the hijackers in the September 11, 2001 attacks, Hani Hanjour and Khalid Almihdhar, illegally obtained state identification.[3] The mall also experienced two gang-related stabbings in 2005.[4] The mall is located near the Potomac Mills mall, just ten miles south on I-95, as well as the Tysons Corner Shopping area north on I-495.
