The Kutz Bridge carries eastbound traffic on Independence Avenue SW over the northern point of the Tidal Basin. It is named in honor of Brigadier General Charles Kutz, who served in the Corps of Engineers and was a member and chairman of the Washington, DC, Board of Commissioners. Traffic on the bridge can impair enjoyment of the view, but the span allows pedestrians a great view of the Tidal Basin.
