Duke Ellington Bridge
Washington, Washington, DC (DC), US
From http://www.culturaltourismdc.org/dch_tourism2608/dch_tourism_show.htm?doc_id=42019:

Many of Paul Cret's neo-classical and arte moderne designs grace Washington, DC, including the Federal Reserve Building (Constitution and 20th Sts., NW) and the Organization of American States (Constitution and 17th Sts., NW). His most graceful works in DC, however, are two bridges that span Rock Creek Park: this one, named after Edward K. "Duke" Ellington and the Connecticut Avenue Bridge over Klingle Valley between Woodley Park and Cleveland Park.
