Since its dedication in 1932, Arlington Memorial Bridge has served as a monument to national sacrifice and valor-a symbol of reunification, spanning the historic divisions of North and South. As one of the largest transportation infrastructure projects in National Park Service history, the rehabilitation of Arlington Memorial Bridge will give new life to our capital’s ceremonial entrance while respecting its character, history and national significance.
