[Scan-DC] Reagan National and Dulles airports

A coiuple of references below to the _Wilson_ bridge... is that correct?  
The wilson bridge is the one on 95 (the beltway!!) between Oxen Hill and 
Alexandria -

Is it possible that the writer actually means the 14th street bridge, 
closest one to DCA over the potomac from DC into VA... or the Rooseveldt 
Bridge, that also goes from DC (near the Kennedy Center) into Rosslyn... or 
Memorial Bridge, or Key Bridge?
