Arlington Memorial Bridge, Neoclassical arch bridge at National Mall, United States
Arlington Memorial Bridge spans 652 meters across the Potomac River, connecting the Lincoln Memorial with Arlington National Cemetery through eight granite arches.
The bridge construction started in 1926 after President Harding experienced a major traffic congestion during the Tomb of Unknown Soldier dedication ceremony.
The bridge design by McKim, Mead, and White firm incorporates granite sculptures of eagles, bison reliefs, and decorative vases representing national strength.
The structure underwent complete rehabilitation between 2018 and 2020, marking one of the largest transportation infrastructure projects in National Park Service history.
The central section contained the longest and fastest-opening bascule span worldwide when completed in 1932, though it ceased operations in 1961.
