Walking the 11th Street Bridge

Art of War Concept: Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across.
_______________________________________________________________________________

This past weekend after the fireworks, I decided to take a walk over the new 11th Street Bridge. It truly is a whole new experience walking instead of driving. The new bridge only reinforces my belief that the sky is the limit when it comes to the potential for the greater Anacostia community.  In just a few years this bridge has made a world of difference it how it looks and feels coming in and out of the neighborhood.. It truly makes you appreciate the environment around you.

I would highly recommend you experience it for yourself. So one day, get out of the car and walk across to Barracks Row or to one of the overlook piers to embrace this new experience! Here are some pics to give you a feel...

Some neighbors walking over to Barracks Row for lunch
 

A very wide walking and biking path...


Enough room to walk and bike...
 
 
Remember bikes on the left and walk on the right!
"On Your Left!"
 


Overlook piers...

Come out and read a book as the cars pass by...

 

The bridge has its own drainage system so storm water does
not drain directly into the Anacostia River

As the boats pass by...
 

You can even walk down to Anacostia Park...
 

Its even great at night...very well lit


 
Mark your calendars!
