Next up today: @newfdmb ribbon cutting.
Marching bands, truck horns and what I think was a planned helicopter flyover? And a beautiful rendition of Lift Every Voice and Sing.
Bowser says the new Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge is symbolic in bridging communities, but also providing accessibility between Ward 8 and Ward 6.
DDOT says bridge will not open to traffic today, but later this week after punch list items are complete. For instance, there are no lines for traffic control yet. Also, this footprint.
DDOT says more work in the area coming. Demolition of old bridge, building of traffic circles on either side.
Ribbon cut and some more fanfare on the river
Full bridge open by Sunday. Full project done by end of March
