    Memorial Bridge & Lincoln Memorial were fine a couple of days ago and 14th St Bridge was on point today.

    Hains Point is closed. The road is blocked from past the golf course all the way around. You can walk/run there as the seawall path is open, but the road entrances are blocked off.

    It’s unfortunate that they closed it to bikes as all the parking in the area is closed so it wouldn’t be hard to partially open the gates to bikes a’la Beach Drive.

    You can absolutely cycle on Hains Point. Yes, the gates are locked, but the police have zero problem with cyclists going around them and using the roadway. A few weeks ago, I actually asked a cop parked adjacent to the gate if it would be OK, her response — no problem. Been doing laps there ever since, including in full view of police parked in the parking area down near the “tip” — again, no problem.

    Per NPS, Ohio Dr to Hains Point is closed to all traffic including bicycles – https://www.nps.gov/nama/planyourvisit/temporary-facilities-closure-advisory.htm. Just because some park police look the other way doesn’t make it legal or advised.
