• Lauzun’s Legion (P Street) Bridge - Washington DC
    The Lauzun’s Legion Bridge – formerly the P Street Bridge – spans both Rock Creek and the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway at P Street.  It was a critical piece in the completion of the parkway, which was impeded by an earlier bridge at this site.   Funding was provided by the Public Works Administration (PWA) in 1934 (Evening Star 1934).  Construction took place in 1935-36 and the bridge was dedicated in July 1935.   The parkway could not be finished, however, until a lower level bridge just to the north carrying the road across the creek was finished a year later....
