Charles C. Glover Memorial Bridge, Concrete arch bridge in Northwest Washington, United States.
The Charles C. Glover Memorial Bridge spans 386 feet across Rock Creek, featuring a 150-foot single arch and multicolored gneiss facade with tubular steel railings.
Built between 1939 and 1941 by the Army Corps of Engineers, this bridge replaced an iron truss structure from 1888 and a subsequent 1901 landfill culvert.
The bridge name commemorates Charles Carroll Glover, who dedicated his efforts to establishing and maintaining parks throughout the District of Columbia.
The structure carries Massachusetts Avenue traffic on four lanes while allowing vehicles to pass underneath on Rock Creek Parkway at different elevation levels.
Congress allocated 360,000 dollars through the District of Columbia act of 1939 for the bridge construction as part of the New Deal infrastructure projects.
