At a star-spangled ceremony attended
by more than 1,400 dignitaries and guests, the first new Woodrow Wilson Bridge was dedicated. One of the nations largest public works, the $2.4 billion Woodrow Wilson Bridge
dedication signaled a new dawn for congestion-weary commuters and interstate travelers: The beginning of the end of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge
corridors notorious traffic congestion. In addition to serving as a major local commuting route, the Wilson Bridge is the mid-point of Interstate 95, the east coasts busiest
highway. The Woodrow Wilson Bridge Project is jointly sponsored by the Federal Highway

Administration and the District of Columbia Department of Transportation.
