Woodrow Wilson Bridge, Bascule bridge between Alexandria and Oxon Hill, United States.
The Woodrow Wilson Bridge spans 2,053 meters across the Potomac River, featuring twelve traffic lanes and dedicated paths for pedestrians and cyclists.
Officially opened on December 28, 1961, the bridge underwent significant reconstruction in 2006 to accommodate increased traffic and reduce the frequency of drawbridge operations.
The bridge commemorates President Woodrow Wilson, who advocated for improved road infrastructure to strengthen connections between American communities during his administration.
The structure serves approximately 250,000 vehicles daily as part of Interstate 95, connecting Virginia and Maryland while providing access to Washington DC.
This federal government-operated bridge crosses three jurisdictions - Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC - making it the only Interstate bridge with this characteristic.
