Ah...are you referring to what would be the bridge over Rock Creek, presumably this one?: http://bridgereports.com/1241187
The bridge that's there now doesn't seem particularly noteworthy - whether or not the bridge exists on a major traffic route is beside the point of whether a bridge would be considered "historic and notable". There's countless bridges that exist today on high-traffic routes that are otherwise not really noteworthy outside of the fact that they're on those high-traffic routes - therefore, they're not the sorts of bridges that would go here.
Now, the one that would have been built in the 1920s? Feel free to create a page for that.
