I’m sending this photo to anyone who ever says the Arlington BAC can’t get anything done.

I was VERY pleasantly surprised to see that sign and a couple others as I rode home last night via the CC Connector.

When will they stop inconveniencing us and finally start inconveniencing us?!

Yes – the bridge demolition has begun. They were making LOUD NOISES last night and this morning.

Didn’t they already demolish a small part of the west side of the bridge already? The part on the south bank, next to the Rte. 1 trail?

They have about half of the south span down. This photo is from the south bank on Saturday afternoon.

This is a good month for people who like to watch bridge demolitions, I guess. In addition to the FMR bridge, crews are also demolishing the old Washington Blvd. bridge over Columbia Pike. (The old WB bridge is mostly gone now. The demolition is supposed to be finished next weekend.)

The path under the bridges was still open as of yesterday evening.

This morning, too

Progress on the bridge demo. The south span is down and portions of the next span north is already down. Getting to the point where we are going to be affected.

Open as of 3pm today.

Open as of 5:30am 2/21/14

p.s. just joined here after finding this thread – will try to update as often as possible. i usually commute through 4MR to MVT 4-5 days a week.

I think it will be awhile before they close the trail. I would imagine that taking down the boom containing debris in the stream and reinstalling it in the north part of the stream will the indication that the trail will close.

thanks for having me – been alternating between the two routes just to keep things interesting lately. thanks for the heads up, tho – it would be nice to see if someone could modify the signage at the water treatment plant from “DETOUR” to “MUST TAKE DETOUR” once they actually close the trail, and add a similar sign at the MVT-Crystal City connector intersection.
