WONDER how many of the cOmmut-
Il ers who daily travel the Old George
town pike into Virginia know the origin
of the name of the bridge that takes them
across the Potomac River.
If you made the most obvious guess,
you would be right Because Chain
Bridge was named for the heavy iron
chains that once suspended its platform
over the river channel
Washington's first bridge over the
Potomac was the result of pleas by
Mai. Pierre Charles L'Enfant, who
argued that ferry was not good enough
and a bridge should be built to speed
communications to the south.
The Georgetown Bridge Co. thus was
formed and soon huge stone abutments
were constructed at site below Little
Falls. Timothy Palmer of fNewberrypOrt,
Mass, was given the job in 1895 of build
ing one of his graceful truSsed-arch
bridges on top of the stone founda-
tiOnS.
George Washington noted in his diary
on April 10, 1897, that he went by
the bridge at the little falls to Ct. Falls
and returned in the afternoon" He
also noted that he was charged l shill-
ing, 10 pence for the croSsing-7 pence
more than the charge for the George
town ferry.

Unfortunately, the large stone piers
caused the river to rise unusually
high during floods, and three bridges
were swept away, including the Chain
Bridge, which was pioneer suspension
type with the roadway hung from long
chains suspended between wooden tow
ers on top of the stone abutments.
The chain suspension bridge was
washed away in 1910, but it left its
name with succeeding spans. Its first
successor was a covered bridge Of the
Howe truss construction. 1t was single
span with seven pairs of arches to give
it greater strength, and there was mar
row fOotwalk attached to the upstream
side.
During the Civil War, the bridge, which
formed strategic entrance into Wash
ington, was heavily guarded. Its sides
and roof were removed to lessen the
threat of sabotage, and it was left un-
covered until it was replaced in 1874.
Down stream few miles, where the
Potomac widened, Long Bridge was
constructed in 1909 A simple bridge,
built on piles above the mud flats,
Long Bridge was partially burned in
1914 to prevent the invading British
forces from reaching Washington. 1t

it carried both vehicles and boats over
the river. Its leaky flume gave it the
nickname.
Ithiel Town, Connecticut bridge de-
Signer, served as conSultant for the
Alexandria Canal Co., which had re-
ceived a Government contribution of
$45O, 900 for an aqueduct to extend the
Chesapeake & Potomac Canal to tide
water at Alexandria.
Built of wood, the Aqueduct Bridge
leaked like a mill race, but for 30 years
it served to carry the canal boats to tide
water.
During the Civil War, the water-carry-
ing nume was drained to form a road
way for troops. After the war, the span
became a rare type of covered bridge
one that combined canal and roadway
on two levels.
While patient mules pulled their
canal boats from specially construct
ed tOwpath just above the water, car
riages and other wheeled traffic rolled
across on a platform built above the
canal
The Government purchased the
Georgetown Aqueduct in 1896 The canal
was abandoned and a new iron-truss
bridge built on the old foundations.
But all that is left now are the stone
piers beside Key Bridge.
