New Frederick Douglass Bridge

From idea…to concept…to design principles…to iconic design and now…to construction of the District of Columbia’s largest infrastructure project ever implemented; Uwe Brandes has been shaping the future of the South Capitol Street crossing for 20 years. This new urban corridor and bridge is the gateway connecting the “President’s Highway” from Andrew’s Air Force base to the White House. A 21st Century, multi-modal hub, the bridge creates a new civic destination and connects neighborhoods on the east and west sides of the Anacostia River.
