Exploring the History of the Aqueduct Bridge in Washington, D.C.

UPDATE: GoDCer Jerry has correctly pointed out that this is not the Aqueduct Bridge. The National Archives has mislabeled this and it’s actually the Pennsylvania Ave. bridge over Rock Creek. You can see it here. I know leave you to the rest of this incorrect post.

The bridge no longer exists and was dismantled in the 1920s, but a small part still stands on the D.C. side. This part of the bridge is crossing the canal, and is approximately where Key Bridge hits M St. today.

That is NOT the Aqueduct Bridge but the Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge.

Yeah, Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge over Rock Creek Park http://goodspeedupdate.com/2007/2130

Not the Aqueduct Bridge but also not a random error. There is a reason they called this one an aqueduct. And it still stands, and those huge pipes are still there, encased in concrete.
