Notes
  • Significance: Cast-iron water mains from the Aqueduct Bridge by Montgomery Meigs, the span that preceded the present bridge, are encased in the concrete arch and are visible on the underside. These pipes were integral to the city's early water supply, and they continue to function as a link in the system that carries water from the reservoir in Georgetown to the city of Washington proper. The 1915-16 concrete arch span elicited a complaint from the Commission of Fine Arts about its design, and initiated a debate about the proper form of Rock Creek crossings.
