  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.
