Arlington Memorial Bridge, Boundary Channel Extension, Spanning Mount Vernon Memorial Highway & Boundary Channel, Washington, District of Columbia, DC

Significance: This bridge was designed in 1928 as part of the comprehensive plan for a memorial bridge and drive from the Mall in Washington to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. Patterned in the neoclassical style to match the Arlington Memorial Bridge, the Boundary Channel Extension Bridge is as equally fine in its detailing. Although designed and built almost thirty years after the McMillan Commission was disbanded, this structure reflects the original intention of the Commission, which was to build a memorial bridge on this site which would join the North and South.
