14th Street Bridge (Washington, D.C.) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The 14th Street Bridge is a complex of three four-lane bridges which carry Interstate 395 and U.S. Highway 1 traffic across the Potomac River, connecting Arlington, Virginia and Washington, D.C. It is named for the street that feeds into it on the DC end (carrying northbound US 1 off the bridge), 14th Street. |
 | | The bridge was again washed out by a flood in February 1857, but was reopened by the end of the year, as revenue service on the AandW with connecting service over the bridge began December 21, 1857. |
 | | On November 15, 1865, with the end of the war, the U.S. Military Railroad gave the old bridge to the U.S. Department of the Interior; the new bridge became part of the Washington, Alexandria and Georgetown Railroad, leased by the BandO. |
