| Abstract | The Woodrow Wilson Bridge, where Interstate 95 crosses the Potomac River just south of Washington, DC, carries significant amounts of freight to support economic activities well beyond the nation's capitol. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) estimates that, in 1993, the Wilson Bridge supported truck shipments by manufacturers, mining establishments, and wholesalers of over $58 billion and 30 million tons, or 1.3 percent of the total value and 0.5 percent of the total tons of truck shipments by all U.S. manufacturers, mining establishments, and wholesalers. BTS used 1993 Commodity Flow Survey data to calculate this amount in response to a request from the state of Maryland. Although the Bureau's estimate of $58 billion of truck shipments over the Wilson Bridge in one year is very conservative, the figure nonetheless underscores the bridge's importance. |
