31st Street Bridge Project Begins
DDOT is preparing to replace the structurally deficient, weight-limited 31st Street Bridge over the C&O Canal—during which time the existing historic pier will be removed, restored, and reset, and a new bridge will be built. During the project, pedestrian access over the canal will be maintained at all times with a temporary pedestrian bridge, and pedestrians will be able to cross 31st Street to either side of the canal towpath. 31st Street will be closed to vehicles over the canal, but local access will be maintained to the businesses on either side of the bridge and a vehicle detour around 31st Street will be in place. The contractor expects to begin the street detour and vehicle staging in May and the project is scheduled to finish in summer 2020. Click here for more information on the 31st Street Bridge project, including a construction overview and traffic patterns.
