it would be too much to ask them to close a lane to maintain service for non-autos, wouldn’t it? because, you know, there’s a quick and easy alternate for pedestrians.

Good thing they provided advance notice and a convenient detour. Eastbound traffic has their choice of the water taxi from Old Town or the South Capitol Street bridge.

I am just glad that I commute before 9 am and after 5. I saw the signs they had put out. But I do hate when they close my bridge.

I asked VDOT for a suggested detour on Twitter but for some reason they haven’t gotten back to me…
