Summary edit
| Description |
English: A design for a Memorial Bridge over the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., in the United States. This design, by Paul Johannes Pelz and Captain T. W. Symonds (of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers), was published produced from 1886 to 1887 after the U.S. Congress authorized design of a bridge. This structure was intended to be built halfway between what is now Arlington Memorial Bridge and the Francis Scott Key Bridge. It was to be dedicated to General Ulysses S. Grant.
This bridge was never built. Instead, the Arlington Memorial Bridge was designed and constructed from 1925 to 1932. Its location is downstream from where the Pelz/Symonds bridge would have been located. |
