The Arlington Memorial Bridge stands as a symbolic link between the North and South, celebrating national strength and unity through its neoclassical design and architectural details. Completed in 1932, it connects the Lincoln Memorial with Arlington National Cemetery, creating a ceremonial entrance to Washington, DC, and honoring the sacrifices of military personnel.
In a significant infrastructure project, the bridge underwent a complete rehabilitation from 2018 to 2020, enhancing its historical character while ensuring its continued use as a scenic route for pedestrians and cyclists. This landmark is not only an engineering feat but also serves as a tribute to the valor of those who have served in defense of democracy.
