11th Street Bridges

The 11th Street Bridges are a complex of three bridges across the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C., United States. The bridges convey Interstate 695 across the Anacostia to its southern terminus at Interstate 295 and DC 295. The bridges also connect the neighborhood of Anacostia with the rest of the city of Washington.The first bridge at the site, constructed about 1800, played a role in the War of 1812. It burned in 1846, but was repaired.
