The Arlington Memorial Bridge Rehabilitation Environmental Assessment
The public is invited to review and comment on The Arlington Memorial Bridge Rehabilitation Environmental Assessment (EA). The National Park Service, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration, the US Coast Guard and the National Capital Planning Commission, prepared this EA in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act. This EA analyzes the potential environmental impacts that would result from the implementation of the proposed repair and rehabilitation of the Arlington Memorial Bridge. Concurrently, the agencies are conducting consultation in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
The historic bridge spans the Potomac River between the National Mall in Washington, DC, and the Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. The bridge is an important element of the George Washington Memorial Parkway, the regional transportation network, and the monumental core of Washington, DC. The proposed Arlington Memorial Bridge project includes the rehabilitation or replacement of the steel draw span (the bascule span); repairs to the deteriorated portions of the abutments, piers, and concrete arch spans; replacement of the concrete bridge deck; resurfacing of the travel lanes; replacement of the concrete sidewalks and refitting of granite curbs; repairs to granite bridge railings; repairs to lamp posts; repairs to access panels; installation of an improved drainage system; and other minor nonstructural bridge improvements.
The EA and appendixes are available for review and comment until May 16, 2016. See the EA newsletter for an overview of the project. These documents can be downloaded by selecting the document links below. Printed copies of the EA are also available for review at the following locations:
