Notes
  • Significance: K Street was the site of the second crossing between Georgetown and Washington, with a bridge built here in 1792. The present bridge is an important link in the transportation artery that connects K Street in Washington to the Virginia and Maryland suburbs via the Whitehurst Freeway. Though its massive form creates a visual barrier in the midst of the parkway, the stone facing and arcuation represents an attempt to match the other Rock Creek spans. The same team of designers are responsible for this bridge produced Massachusetts Avenue Bridge (HAER No. DC-22).
