Francis Case Memorial Bridge, Road bridge over Washington Channel, Washington D.C., United States
The Francis Case Memorial Bridge spans the Washington Channel with eight lanes of Interstate 395 and includes a dedicated bicycle and pedestrian path.
Construction of the bridge started in 1959 after revising initial 1952 plans, leading to its opening for traffic on July 31, 1962.
The bridge received its name in 1965 to honor Senator Francis Case from South Dakota, who supported voting rights for District of Columbia residents.
The structure extends 1,578 feet in length and 99 feet in width, handling over 150,000 vehicles daily while connecting East Potomac Park to Southwest Washington.
The bridge design features two primary spans that split into three sections on the north side of the channel, creating a distinct structural pattern.
