This bridge facilitated my partner's suicide. Research shows he would have lived that night and may very well still be here today if this bridge had a barrier installed, like the neighboring Ellington Bridge back in the '80s. The Taft was slated to get a barrier 40 years ago but the effort was stopped by local stakeholders, including now DC City Council Chair Phil Mendelson and the DC Preservation League. Now they are trying to make it right. It's too late for my partner. It's too late for the other person lost since. Hoping it won't be too late for anyone else. #taftbridgebarrier #inhonorofPeter
They need to seriously put barriers up. Ppl have been rallying for this for too long while more lives are being taken by suicide off this bridge. 😢
Very beautiful Bridge, sadly to say this is famous for suicide Bridge.
Amazing views of lush Rock Creek Park and the Duke Ellington Bridge
Incredible views overlooking trees on either side of the bridge, with the National Cathedral visible in the distance. It only needs some bike lanes and a trolley - because cars otherwise roll by obnoxiously loud.
As far as residential bridges in suburban areas go it's pretty classy. With 4 lions guarding the bridge at either end and a view of the creek running through Rock Creek Park below, this is a glorious stroll on a spring day
Parking underneath. It's a mounted police station but they have visitor parking until dark. Short walk to the zoo
This Bridge is beautiful. It has massive lions at either end. It's a nice place to walk. I highly recommend this bridge.
