The Judith Heumann Memorial Bridge Designation Act of 2025 aims to officially designate the bridge on Connecticut Avenue NW, located between Devonshire Place NW and Macomb Street NW, as the Judith E. Heumann Memorial Bridge. This legislation honors Judith E. Heumann, a prominent figure in the disability rights movement who passed away on March 4, 2023. Heumann's significant contributions include her leadership in the 1977 504 Sit-in, her role in developing key legislation such as the Americans With Disabilities Act, and her service in various capacities within the government and non-profit sectors. The community, particularly residents of the Kennedy-Warren apartment building where Heumann lived, has advocated for this renaming, supported by a resolution from the Advisory Neighborhood Commission 3C.

The bill includes a provision that designates the bridge as the Judith E. Heumann Memorial Bridge, as depicted in the accompanying committee report. It also adopts the fiscal impact statement from the committee report as required by existing legislative procedures. The act will take effect following approval by the Mayor and a 30-day congressional review period, ensuring that Heumann's legacy is recognized in a meaningful way within the community she significantly impacted.
