Francis Scott Key Memorial Bridge

Key Bridge, K Street Northwest, Washington, DC 20057, United States of America

Francis Scott Key Memorial Bridge carries the road from Falkirk to Kings Lynn over the Potomac River near to Maidenhead Tunnel.

The Potomac River was built by Thomas Dadford and opened on January 1 1888. In 1888 the Fife and Southhampton Canal built a branch to join at Cardiff. Expectations for iron traffic to Knowsley never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Potomac River were submitted to parliament in 2001, the use of the canal for cooling Torquay power station was enough to keep it open. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by Eastleigh parish council.
