	Woodrow Wilson Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The bridge has its west abutment in Virginia, and the remaining majority of the bridge is within Maryland jurisdiction since the Potomac River is within Maryland's borders, with about 300 feet (90 m) of the western mid-span portion of the bridge crossing the tip of the southernmost corner of the District of Columbia.
		One of the reasons for the excess traffic of the bridge is that the eastern half of the Capital Beltway carries I-95 traffic between points south of Washington and points north of Washington.
		The existing Wilson Bridge is being replaced by two new side-by-side drawbridges with a total of 12 lanes and 70 feet of vertical navigational clearance at the draw span.
