Home > 14th Street Bridge (I-395)

 
The 14th Street Bridge is a part of Interstate 395 and US Route 1 . It links Arlington, Virginia and Washington DC. It is one of the three bridges linking Washington DC to Virginia. The others are Key Bridge , which leads to Rosslyn, Virginia and the Arlington Memorial Bridge, which brings one to Arlington National Cemetery.

The 14th Street Bridge gained national notoriety when then-Mayor Marion Barry decided to clean up the problem in DC's 14th Street red-light district by rounding up the prostitutes and marching them across the bridge to Virginia.

The bridge is also known for being the location of the Air Florida Flight 90 airplane crash on January 13, 1982.

The "bridge" is actually a complex of three sets of bridges built between 1950 and 1972. The official names for the bridges are the "Rochambeau Bridge" for the northbound span, and the "George Mason" bridge for the southbound and HOV span. The Rochambeau span was renamed the Arland D. Williams, Jr. Memorial Bridge, after a heroic passenger of Air Florida Flight 90 who died while saving others from the freezing water.
