Some presidents have libraries. Others have airports, schools or highways named after them.

A select group also have bridges.

Across the country, bridges bearing presidential names carry millions of drivers each year. Some are major interstate crossings that rank among the busiest in the nation. Others are local landmarks that recognize a president's connection to a state or community.

As the U.S. celebrates its 250th birthday, here's a look at the presidents whose names have found a permanent place on America's bridges.

George Washington

It should come as no surprise that America's first president is also attached to one of its most famous bridges.

The George Washington Bridge opened in 1931 and crosses the Hudson River between New York City and Fort Lee, New Jersey. At the time, it had the longest suspension span in the world.

Today, it is one of the busiest vehicle bridges anywhere, carrying hundreds of thousands of vehicles on a typical day.

For millions of commuters, "the GWB" is simply part of the daily drive.

Abraham Lincoln

The Abraham Lincoln Bridge carries Interstate 65 across the Ohio River between Louisville, Kentucky, and Jeffersonville, Indiana.

Opened in 2015, the cable-stayed bridge was built as part of the Ohio River Bridges Project, which modernized one of the region's busiest transportation corridors.

Naming the bridge after Lincoln is fitting. Kentucky was his birthplace, and Indiana was where he spent much of his childhood.

John F. Kennedy

Just downstream from the Abraham Lincoln Bridge is the John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge.

Completed in 1963, the bridge has served as one of Louisville's primary Ohio River crossings for decades. Today, it works alongside the newer Abraham Lincoln Bridge to move traffic through downtown Louisville.

It's one of several memorials across the country dedicated to the nation's 35th president.

Ronald Reagan

The Ronald Reagan Memorial Bridge is located within the interchange connecting Interstate 95 and Interstate 495 near the Woodrow Wilson Bridge.

While not as widely known as some of the other bridges on this list, it recognizes the 40th president near one of the busiest highway corridors in the Washington, D.C., region.

Theodore Roosevelt

The Theodore Roosevelt Bridge crosses the Potomac River between Virginia and Washington, D.C.

Opened in the 1960s, it carries Interstate 66 and U.S. Route 50 into the nation's capital.

Roosevelt was known for his interest in conservation and public lands, making it appropriate that a major bridge near the National Mall bears his name.

Woodrow Wilson

The Woodrow Wilson Bridge is one of the few bridges in the United States named after a president while also serving as part of the Interstate Highway System.

The bridge carries Interstate 95 and Interstate 495 across the Potomac River, linking Maryland and Virginia just south of Washington, D.C.

The original bridge opened in 1961 before being replaced by the current structure in 2008.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

The Eisenhower name shows up on a few bridges around the country.

In Minnesota, the Eisenhower Bridge carries U.S. 63 across the Mississippi River at Red Wing. It opened in 1960 and was named for the former president after he dedicated the crossing.

In Iowa, another Eisenhower Bridge spans the Fox River near Milton. It is a smaller truss bridge that remains in service today and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Eisenhower is better known for the Interstate Highway System, which officially bears his name. Still, these bridges are part of the smaller set of structures that carry his name at the local level.

Harry S. Truman

The Harry S. Truman Bridge crosses the Mississippi River near Quincy, Illinois, and Missouri.

The bridge serves as an important freight and passenger route while honoring the nation's 33rd president, who was born and spent much of his life in Missouri.

Lyndon B. Johnson

Texas is home to the Lyndon B. Johnson Memorial Bridge, named after the state's native son and the nation's 36th president.

The bridge recognizes Johnson's long political career and his ties to the Lone Star State, where numerous roads, schools and public buildings also carry his name.

Richard Nixon

Richard Nixon does not have a well-known major bridge named after him.

Most references to his name appear on smaller local crossings, especially in California. One example is a bridge in Yorba Linda near his presidential library and birthplace. It serves local traffic and is more of a community dedication than a major transportation route.

A Small Group with a Lasting Presence

Forty-five people have served as president of the United States, but only a small number have bridges named after them.

Some are major crossings that handle heavy traffic every day. Others are smaller structures that most drivers pass without thinking twice.

From the George Washington Bridge over the Hudson River to the Abraham Lincoln Bridge across the Ohio River, these names show up in everyday travel in places where history and infrastructure overlap.
