DDOT is hosting a pair of public meetings this month on the proposed Arboretum Bridge. The bridge, a part of the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail would connect Kenilworth Park to the Arboretum. It will also include a few hundred feet of trail from the east side bridge landing to the existing East Bank Trail of the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail, and a smaller section on the east side to connect to paths in the Arboretum.
The project will improve access for all users including pedestrians, bicyclists, kayakers, canoers, rowers, fishers and wildlife observers
The bridge is slated to be completed in 2021. CM McDuffie announced in March that he was seeking funding for the project.
Here's a presentation of how the bridge impacts the navigation of the river.
The meetings are later this month
