    Tips

    September 2, 2024

    From this spot you get a fantastic view of the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge. The bridge was completed in 2021 and is a large, striking through arch bridge spanning South Capitol Street over the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C. Replacing the 1950 South Capitol Street Bridge, which was renamed in honor of abolitionist Frederick Douglass in 1965, the new structure features three sets of parallel white arches, six lanes, bicycle and pedestrian paths, and an esplanade. Construction began in 2018, aligning with Douglass' bicentennial, and the bridge opened in stages in September 2021. The old bridge was dismantled in early 2021, completing the project and marking it as the largest public works initiative in D.C. history.
