About Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge

1497 S Capitol St SW, Washington DC

 

This project is set to be the District’s largest construction project in history.

There will be a replacement of the 1950-built Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge and reconstruction of the Suitland Parkway/I-295 interchange. The newly redesigned Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge will be wider and built parallel to the old one. At the end of each bridge, there will be traffic circles. Drainage and storm water management will also be improved. Sections of South Capitol Street will be redeveloped as a scenic boulevard. There will also be a two-way crossing dedicated for pedestrians and cyclists with a median blocking vehicular traffic.

The project is expected to cost $441 million and it will connect South Capitol Street, Potomac Avenue, and Q Street SW, while crossing the Anacostia River. Construction is slated for completion in the fall of 2021.
