it is happening

Bye Bye Henderson (bridge)
Hello Washington (bridge)
I think I'm gonna cry

They were paving the EP side of the Pedestrian/Bike route across the Washington Bridge this morning. Soon I will be able to cut my car interactions down by 50% or more and my commute by a mile or two.

Can't wait.

From Steve Church at RIDOT, they are reopening the sidewalk on the bridge on or about Friday but will have to close it when work begins on the linear park.

They will not be doing any work on the park, probably over the summer.

Mark's' got somewhat of a definite answer.

My email from Steve said May 1st or sooner. Mark seems to have gotten info suggesting that it won't be open until the 1000+ runners doing the Marathon and 1/2 Marathon hit the bridge.

Matt, you want to talk about a death trap. Try having the marathon run across it in its current state.
