About: Construction of Arlington Memorial Bridge

An Entity of Type: architectural structure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The construction of Arlington Memorial Bridge was a seven-year construction project in Washington, D.C., in the United States to construct the Arlington Memorial Bridge across the Potomac River. The bridge was authorized by Congress in February 1925, and was completed in January 1932. As a memorial, its decorative features were extensive and intricate, and resolving the design issues over these details took many years. Tall columns and pylons topped by statuary, Greek Revival temple-like structures, and statue groups were proposed for the ends of the bridge. Carvings and inscriptions were planned for the sides of the bridge, and extensive statuary for the bridge piers.

  • كان بناء جسر آرلينغتون التذكاري مشروع بناء مدته سبع سنوات في واشنطن العاصمة، لبناء جسر آرلينغتون التذكاري عبر نهر بوتوماك. وافق الكونغرس على هذا الجسر في فبراير 1925 وتم استكماله في يناير 1932. كنصب تذكاري، كانت ملامحه التزينية موسعة ومعقدة، وحل مشاكل التصميم المتعلقة بهذه التفاصيل استغرق سنوات عديدة. اقتُرحت أعمدة طويلة على رأسها تمثال، وهياكل تشبه معبد أحياء اليونان، ومجموعات تمثال لنهاية الجسر. وتم التخطيط لشحنات ونقوش على جانبي الجسر. استغرق الجسر نفسه وقتا أطول بكثير من العامين المتوقعين. وحدثت مشاكل في بناء الأسس، وحوادث، وكان بناء الجسر القادي أو الدروبريدج معقدًا وطويلًا. وعلى الرغم من أن الجسر انتهى بحلول يناير 1932، استغرق بناء المحطة الأخيرة وإكمال بنائها ست سنوات أخرى. تسببت مشاكل الميزانية التي أحدثها الكساد العظيم في أن أجزاء من مشروع الجسر لم تكتمل قط. اشتمل بناء الممرات الغربية للجسر على توسيع نطاق جزيرة في نهر بوتوماك، وبناء جسور بين هذه الجزيرة والبر الرئيسي لفرجينيا، وبناء مدخل احتفالي جديد في مقبرة آرلينغتون الوطنية، وإنشاء حملة تذكارية لربط المقبرة بالجسر. وكانت الطرق الشرقية للجسر على نفس القدر من التعقيد، وكانت تتطلب بناء ساحة إلى الغرب من نصب لنكولن التذكاري، وربط الجسر بروك كريك وبوتوماك باركواي، وبناء «بوابة مائية» لإتاحة الفرصة للجمهور للوصول إلى النهر. أضيف الجسر إلى السجل الوطني للأماكن التاريخية في 1980.

  • The construction of Arlington Memorial Bridge was a seven-year construction project in Washington, D.C., in the United States to construct the Arlington Memorial Bridge across the Potomac River. The bridge was authorized by Congress in February 1925, and was completed in January 1932. As a memorial, its decorative features were extensive and intricate, and resolving the design issues over these details took many years. Tall columns and pylons topped by statuary, Greek Revival temple-like structures, and statue groups were proposed for the ends of the bridge. Carvings and inscriptions were planned for the sides of the bridge, and extensive statuary for the bridge piers. The bridge itself took far longer than the anticipated two years. Problems were encountered in building the foundations, accidents occurred, and the construction of the bascule (or drawbridge) span was complex and lengthy. Even though the bridge was finished by January 1932, construction of the termini and completion of the memorial details took another six years. Budget problems created in part by the Great Depression meant that portions of the bridge project were never completed. Construction of the bridge's western terminus involved extensively enlarging an island in the Potomac River, building bridges between this island and the Virginia mainland, building a new ceremonial entrance at Arlington National Cemetery, and creating a memorial drive to connect the cemetery to the bridge. The bridge's eastern approaches were equally as complex, and required construction of a plaza to the west of the Lincoln Memorial, connecting the bridge to the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway, and building a "watergate" (marble steps) to given the public access to the river. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. (en)
