About this Item

8°. Mit 2 (1 gef.) Tafeln. 20 SS. Br. mit Rückenfalz (guter Erhaltungszustand). The Aqueduct Bridge (also called the Alexandria Aqueduct) was a bridge between Georgetown, Washington, D. C., and Rosslyn, Virginia. It was built to transport cargo-carrying boats on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal in Georgetown across the Potomac River to the Alexandria Canal. The same eight piers supported two different bridges: a wooden canal bridge (a wooden roadway bridge was added on top of the canal later), and a roadway-only iron truss bridge. The bridge was closed in 1923 after the construction of the nearby Key Bridge.
