The Frederick Douglass-Susan B. Anthony Memorial Bridge carries Interstate 490 over the Genesee River in downtown Rochester. Since its completion in July, 2007 this "three-arch bridge" has captured the interest of photographers and civil engineering enthusiasts for its visual interest and structural significance. It is named after two of the United States' most important civil rights pioneers, who called Rochester home. They are buried in the City's Mt. Hope Cemetery.
