The bridge replaced one built in 1891 by the Rock Creek Railway to carry streetcars. The bridge was a steel trestle bridge with a wooden floor, 750 feet long and 130 feet high. To avoid service disruption, the old bridge was moved 80 feet south during the construction of the Duke Ellington Bridge; however, streetcar service was discontinued before the new bridge opened.
