First Lanes of New, D.C.-Area Bridge to Open in June
Builders of the first, six-lane span of a new Woodrow Wilson Bridge near Washington, D.C., are gearing up for a May 18 dedication ceremony and planning to begin opening that span to traffic, on a limited basis, as early as the second weekend of June.
But on the switchover weekend, only one lane initially will be open, with two more lanes to follow soon after that. The other three lanes of the new span won't be available to motorists until after a similar weekend transfer in mid-July.
