More than a Bridge - Rehabilitating Arlington Memorial Bridge: Our Capital's Ceremonial Entrance

摘要

Arlington Memorial Bridge connects the Lincoln Memorial to the ceremonial entrance of Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. Built in 1932, the 2,200-foot-long and 94-foot-wide bridge carries six travel lanes and two shared-use sidewalks. Nearly 87 years after its construction, the National Park Service, in coordination with the Federal Highway Administration, has embarked on one of the largest transportation projects in its history to rehabilitate the bridge. The paper will present an overview of the project and progress of construction.
