Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Long (and quite nice) bridge between Alexandria and the National Harbour. It is important for bikers to have their own bike lane, separate from the roadway, but shared with pedestrians. The view from the bridge to both the National Harbor and the city with Reagan Airport is breathtaking.
