Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Map showing the roads, bridges, underpasses, and other features around the Lincoln Memorial in 1950 in Washington, D.C., in the United States. Note that in 1956, Constitution Avenue NW would be severed from its western terminus so that on-ramps and off-ramps could be built to connect with the as-yet-unbuilt Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Bridge. Riverside Drive would later be renamed Ohio Drive. Notable nearby memorials such as the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Korean War Veterans Memorial would not be constructed until the 1980s and 1990s.
