Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium in the context of "USFL"

The Whitney Young Memorial Bridge is a bridge that carries East Capitol Street across the Anacostia River and Kingman Lake in Washington, D.C. in the United States. Finished in 1955, it was originally called the East Capitol Street Bridge. It was renamed for civil rights activist Whitney Young in early 1974. The bridge is 1,800 feet (550 m) long, its six lanes are 82 feet (25 m) wide, and it has 15 spans resting on 14 piers. It passes over the southern end of Kingman Island and splits into C Street NE and Independence Avenue SE at the site of the former Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium and future New Commanders Stadium on its western end.

New Commanders Stadium, also called New RFK Stadium, is the project name for an indoor multi-purpose stadium planned for construction in Washington, D.C., United States. The stadium will serve as the home venue of the National Football League (NFL) team Washington Commanders and host other sports and public events. It will directly replace the former Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium—home of the team from 1961 to 1996—located along the Anacostia River in the city's Hill East neighborhood.

Commanders Stadium will have a seating capacity of 65,000 and a translucent roof allowing for climate control and sunlight. It will be among the most expensive stadiums ever built at a projected cost of US$3.7 billion. It will be designed by the architectural firm HKS, owned by the District of Columbia, and operated by the Commanders, with future residential, retail, and hospitality development planned around it. The stadium is expected to open in 2030, with construction scheduled to begin in 2026.

Interstate 695 (I-695), also known as the Southeast Freeway, is a two-mile-long (3.2 km) auxiliary Interstate Highway in Washington, D.C. It travels from an interchange with I-395 south of the US Capitol building east then south across the 11th Street Bridges to an interchange with I-295 and District of Columbia Route 295 (DC 295) in Anacostia.

Access also exists from eastbound I-695 to Pennsylvania Avenue at Barney Circle, just northwest of the John Philip Sousa Bridge. Stub ramps at Pennsylvania Avenue, once meant to continue the freeway (as part of I-295) to I-95 and US Route 50 (US 50) northeast of Washington Union Station, now provide access to Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium.
