    Sadly, it looks like the opening ceremony has been postponed until further notice. https://www.alexandriava.gov/recreation/info/default.aspx?id=112204.

    But is the bridge now accessible? A week ago or looked like both ends were blocked.

    Side note: about half of the Wayne Anderson Bikeway now has fresh asphalt and no longer goes tha-dump, tha-dump.

    I thought it might be open based on a picture on Twitter, but on second look it looks like the barrels were moved from one side just to take the photo announcing the trail opening event. I wonder what happened that caused the opening to be cancelled.

    Did the repaving make it to Commonwealth where the biggest of the bumps were?

    The repaving does NOT extend that far alas… the worst of the original paving near the circle / T-junction is still intact.

    Site update: fencing is still blocking both sides of the bridge. No ceremony, no access.

    Just saw on Twitter this morning that a scheduling conflict caused the ceremony to be canceled and that the bridge is supposed to open on an unspecified day next week.
