Which bridge is the Troll Bridge?

The wooden bridge on the MVT underneath the Teddy Roosevelt/I66 bridge. Yes, I know it’s NPS. Yes, we’ve reported the issue to NPS. They do nothing to fix it.

oh, well, that’s a different creature run by a different park’s authority. Shame they aren’t responsive.

There was a coastal flood warning in effect.

As of 6 pm. the W&OD/Wilson Blvd underpass was clear with puddles. However, several of the 4MRT slab fords between Rte 50 and Columbia Pike were flooded.

About a half hour earlier it was still underwater – an inch or two – which really surprised me since it had done little more than drizzle.

Sometime on Thursday, between my morning and evening commute, the washout was repaired.

On the Holmes Run trail in Alexandria, just west of the Holmes Run crossing that sometimes (like now) is covered by water, there’s a stretch from 395 to the crossing where the embankment is concrete and there are numerous water channels running down in, and most go under the trail in little conduits. One of the covers for a conduit must have been washed away, as there’s now a 6 or 8 inch cut in the pathway perpendicular to the pathway. Drop a wheel in there and you won’t have a great day. Bunny hops are an option…but fixing it is a better option. Who to contact about that, Alex. Parks?

I hope this is just the temporary fix.

Hadn’t bothered trying to go through Luria Park in Annandale for a few months due to what seemed like never-ending causeway repairs. Took that route this morning and happily the work is all done. Much better than riding to the end of Camp Alger, then carrying the bike up the stairs to Holly Berry.

Thanks for the report.

Facebook friend just posted this.

“Heads up anyone taking the CCT this morning: the bridge over Mass Ave is closed because a transformer blew (the firefighter standing there helpfully advised that I turn around and not touch the fence). Take Little Falls Pkwy to Little Falls Trail and hop back on.”
