The Duke Ellington Bridge – Calvert Street N.W., Washington, D.C.
The Duke Ellington Bridge carries Calvert Street NW over Rock Creek in Washington, D.C. It connects 18th Street NW in Adams Morgan with Connecticut Avenue NW in Woodley Park.
Originally called the "Calvert Street Bridge," it was designed by Paul Philippe Cret in a neoclassical style and built in 1935. It was rededicated as the Duke Ellington Bridge following the death of the Washington native and famous band leader in 1974. It is a limestone structure with three graceful 146-foot (45 m) arches. There are four sculptural reliefs on the abutments measuring three feet high by four feet wide. The classical reliefs by Leon Hermant represent four modes of travel: automobile, train, ship, and airplane.
