Cedar Lane Bridge To Re-Open To Traffic Friday
Bridge had been closed to traffic since June for a rehabilitation project.
The Cedar Lane Bridge, which has been closed to traffic due to a rehabilitation project, is set to re-open Friday – three weeks ahead of schedule.
The project is just one in a series of transportation improvements planned around the soon-to-be Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, which will see 2,500 new employees and nearly one million yearly visitors after the federally-mandated Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) transition.
The bridge has been closed to traffic since June 16 as crews worked to repair concrete beams and piers that were in poor condition. The bridge had been classified as “structurally deficient,” according to Montgomery County.
