Notes
  • Significance: M Street Bridge spans Rock Creek valley at the site of the oldest bridge in the District of Columbia. Although representative of mid twentieth-century bridge architecture in the United States, the appearance of the fifth and present M Street Bridge conflicted with the architectural aesthetics for park-structure design established by the Commission of Fine Arts, and it was erected without that organization's approval. It is the only non-arch bridge crossing Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway.
  • Survey number: HAER DC-37
  • Building/structure dates: 1929- 1930 Initial Construction
