Hanover Street Bridge




The bridge was constructed in 1916 and is considered a Beaux Arts-style reinforced cantilever bridge. It is known for its beautiful arches as it spands the water. In the center of the bridge is a drawbridge surrounded on four corners by classic style towers giving the bridge a unique appearance. The bridge is 2,290 feet long.

On May 30, 1993, Baltimore Mayor Kurt Schmoke offially renamed the bridge the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge.
