Currently there is no direct access between the Kennedy Center and the Potomac waterfront. The bridge will be approximately 93 feet long and 9.5 feet wide and connect to a 201-foot ramp. This ramp would have a set of stairs at the other end, and a connection to another 91-foot ramp which switches back to the Rock Creek Paved Recreation Trail. The Commission approved preliminary and final site and building plans for the pedestrian ramp and bridge. In its approval NCPC noted that the Kennedy Center successfully addressed its previous comments regarding the bridge’s character and circulation.
