Notes
  • Significance: As one of the first two completed structures on the Colonial Parkway, the Navy Mine Depot Overpass employed the characteristic colonial brickwork and reinforced concrete arch design indicative of subsequent parkway bridges. Even though parkway motorists saw only the overpass' brick-faced railings, this bridge had its entire exterior covered with brick facing, reflecting the design decision to adhere to the colonial theme in all park structures. The U.S. Navy required that construction of the bridge not interfere with the operation of the railway linking the Navy Mine Pier to the Weapons Station. Subsequent alterations of the Navy Mine Depot Overpass widened its road deck in order to reduce the number of automobile accidents at this location.
