The Francis Case Memorial Bridge is a steel beam bridge carrying Interstate 395 (I-395) over the Washington Channel in Washington, D.C. It is an eight-lane bridge with a bicycle/pedestrian lane on the inbound side. It has two spans that split into three on the north side of the channel. The bridge is sometimes but not always considered to be part of the 14th Street Bridges, as it crosses the Washington Channel rather than the main channel of the Potomac River.
