Duke Ellington Bridge, Road bridge in Adams Morgan district, Washington D.C., United States.
The Duke Ellington Bridge extends 825 feet in length and rises 128 feet high, featuring three concrete arches covered with Indiana limestone.
The structure replaced an 1891 steel trestle bridge, with construction completed in 1935 as part of the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway development.
Four relief sculptures by Leon Hermant decorate the bridge abutments, depicting classical representations of transportation through rail, water, air, and automobile.
The bridge connects 18th Street in Adams Morgan neighborhood with Connecticut Avenue in Woodley Park, serving as a main route for vehicles and pedestrians.
Metal railings measuring five feet in height were installed along the bridge during the 1980s to increase safety measures for pedestrians.
