Beam bridges are the simplest structural forms for bridge spans supported by an abutment or pier at each end. [1] No moments are transferred throughout the support, hence their structural type is known as simply supported. The simplest beam bridge could be a log (see log bridge), a wood plank, or a stone slab (see clapper bridge) laid

[2] [3] It replaced the Michigan Ave Bridge over the B&O Railroad built in 1937-38 and opened on August 29, 1938. [4] That bridge was 1161' long and 40' wide and was the first bridge at that location. It was a steel beam bridge on simple spans designed by the D.C. Bridge division and built by the James Baird Company for $265,000.
It was the first major prestressed concrete beam bridge designed and built in the United States when completed. The form of the bridge was simple, and it looked similar to many highway bridges carrying traffic on US highways today. The bridge deck was supported by thirteen concrete girders, each spanning 160 feet (49 m).
