The Benning Bridge is a beam bridge carrying Benning Road over the Anacostia River and Kingman Island. It is a six-lane bridge with pedestrian lanes on both sides. A separate Washington Metro bridge carrying the Blue and Orange lines crosses over the bridge near its western terminus, and parallels the bridge on the north.

Famous quotes containing the word bridge:

    “I was at work that morning. Someone came riding like mad
    Over the bridge and up the road—Farmer Rouf’s little lad.
    Bareback he rode; he had no hat; he hardly stopped to say,
    “Morgan’s men are coming, Frau, they’re galloping on this way.”
    —Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840–1894)
