The Whitney Young Memorial Bridge is a bridge that carries East Capitol Street across the Anacostia River in Washington, D. C. in the United States. Finished in 1955, it was called the East Capitol Street Bridge, it was renamed for civil rights activist Whitney Young in early 1974. The bridge is 1,800 feet long, its six lanes are 82 feet wide, it has 15 spans resting on 14 piers; the need for a new bridge spanning the Anacostia River was first identified in 1949 after worsening traffic at Barney Circle led to widespread citizen complaints. The bridge was proposed to cross the Anacostia by extending East Capitol Street over the river; this bridge was opposed by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, which asked that a bridge be built by extending Massachusetts Avenue SE through the undeveloped Hill East/Reservation 13 area and connecting it with its namesake street in the Greenway neighborhood on the east side of the river. The Commission was supported by an influential group of business people and civic leaders known as the Committee of 100 on the Federal City.

D. C. officials, opposed this route for fear of the negative effects it would have on nearby Gallinger Hospital. On December 29, 1949, the three D. C. Commissioners approved a bridge at East Capitol Street, but just three weeks the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge opened across the Anacostia River, alleviating traffic congestion in southeast. A few days the NCPPC voted to suspend approval for any new bridge across the Anacostia River until traffic patterns and congestion around the existing bridges were resolved and the need for a new span made clear. Federal engineers said. Members of the United States House of Representatives from the state of Maryland, whose state would be impacted by eastbound traffic from any new bridge, favored the East Capitol Street site and encouraged the D. C. Commissioners to bring the fight to Congress for resolution. In early March 1950, the Subcommittee on District Appropriations of the House Committee on Appropriations turned down a request to fund a study of the Massachusetts Avenue site, the Subcommittee on the District of Columbia of the House Committee on Expenditures in the Executive Departments held hearings which supported the D.

C. Commissioners; the Subcommittee on the District of Columbia estimated that reconstructing ramps and reconfiguring traffic patterns around existing bridges would cost $9.5 million, while building a new bridge would cost about the same. Federal highway officials testified that the bridge would help ease access to Maryland Route 214, planned to connect with the Baltimore–Washington Parkway at the District line but, forced into a more southerly direction. Members of Congress inspected both the Massachusetts Avenue SE and East Capitol Street sites, the House Subcommittee approved the East Capitol span in mid-March 1950. A $395,000 contract studying the two sites was granted to the J. E. Greiner Company of Baltimore, Maryland, on September 9, 1950; the company was asked to study whether the approaches from the west to the East Capitol Street span would travel along that street or be divided between Independence Avenue SE and C Street NE. D. C. highway officials gave their approval to the East Capitol Street span on May 1, 1950.

The Greiner Co. had recommended a $2.7 million steel plate girder bridge. The bridge was designed to pass under Minnesota Avenue SE and the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad tracks on the east side of the river and connect with Kenilworth Avenue NE; the cost of the eastern approaches was estimated at $6.7 million. The western approaches would split over Kingman Island and connect Independence Avenue SE and C Street NE. Work on the western approaches was estimated at $2.3 million. The NCPPC approved the plan on May 10, the United States Army Corps of Engineers did so on August 20, but after a final site visit from the NCPPC in September 1951, the approaches were moved westward. The new approaches required dredging 650,000 cubic yards from Kingman Lake and replacing it with sand and gravel to create a curving peninsula that extended 800 feet into the western side of the lake. 1,300,000 cubic yards of fill would be used to raise the peninsula 35 feet above the low water mark, the western approaches built on the new land.

Bids for the entire $12 million construction project were solicited on May 23, 1952. The Arlington, firm of J. A. LaPorte Inc. won the dredging contract, the D. C. firm of Morauer & Hartzell won the fill contract. The work was expected to take 15 months; the NCPPC approved the city's plans to connect the new bridge to Kenilworth Avenue NE on December 13, 1952, a $5.5 million plan to widen Kenwilworth Avenue into a divided, 10-lane freeway on March 24, 1953. D. C. officials paid $250,000 to buy the land for the exit ramps onto Kenilworth Avenue. Construction on the western approaches was blocked for a month after residents of Suitland, won a month-long restraining order against the project so that contractors could devise and implement a noise-abatement program. Construction on the bridge itself began in 1953. Baltimore Contractors, Inc. won the $1.2 million contract to build the bridge's substructure, DeLuca Davis Construction won the $2.2 million contract to the build the superstructure. District officials sought approval from Congress to spend $4.3 million in District of Columbia highway budget funds in September 1953.

The city applied for $4.2 million in federal matching highway funds to help finish the bridge. Driving of pile

Fan Zeng was an adviser to the warlord Xiang Yu, who fought for supremacy with Liu Bang, the founder of the Han dynasty, during the Chu–Han Contention. Fan Zeng was from Juchao, he had a keen interest in military strategy and politics. In 207 BC, when Fan Zeng was about 70, he left home to meet Xiang Liang, who had rebelled against the Qin dynasty, was accepted by Xiang Liang as an advisor. After Xiang Liang died, Fan Zeng continued serving Xiang Yu, as an advisor. Xiang Yu respectfully addressed Fan Zeng as his "Second Father". Since Fan Zeng had been planning and formulating strategies for Xiang Yu to overcome his rivals. In 206 BC, Fan Zeng followed Xiang Yu as their army entered Guanzhong, where Fan Zeng noticed that Liu Bang would become a future threat to Xiang Yu. Fan Zeng urged Xiang Yu to kill Liu Bang but Xiang did not heed his advice. During the Feast at Hong Gate, Fan Zeng ordered Xiang Yu's cousin Xiang Zhuang to pretend to perform a sword dance and use the opportunity to kill Liu Bang, present at the feast on Xiang Yu's invitation.

However, Xiang Yu listened to his uncle Xiang Bo, a close friend of Liu Bang's strategist Zhang Liang, spared Liu's life. Liu Bang seized the chance to escape; the furious Fan Zeng exclaimed, Alas! This brat is not worthy enough to make plans with me; the Duke of Pei will be the one who seizes the empire away from King Xiang. We will all become his prisoners. In 204 BC, when Liu Bang was besieged by Xiang Yu at the Battle of Xingyang, he requested for an armistice. Xiang Yu agreed but Fan Zeng opposed his decision, telling him that he would regret if he agreed to the armistice. Xiang Yu listened to Fan Zeng and continued attacking Liu Bang. Liu Bang's strategist Chen Ping used a scheme to trick Xiang Yu into believing that Fan Zeng had the intention of betraying him. Xiang Yu dismissed Fan Zeng. Fan Zeng made up his mind to leave Xiang Yu. Before leaving, he said, The final outcome is obvious. Take good care of yourself. Please allow me to retire in peace. Fan Zeng was buried by Xiang Yu's followers in Pengcheng.

His tomb is still in existence today. Despite this, there were legends. After Xiang Yu's death, Liu Bang remarked that it was a pity that Xiang had a capable Fan Zeng to help him, but he did not use Fan well. Sima, Qian. Records of the Grand Historian
