The large bridge at Bladensburg Waterfront Park will close for renovations next month.
The bridge, which extends from Monroe Street on the western side of the Anacostia River, will be closed for resurfacing from Jan. 6 to Feb. 7.
During that time pedestrians and bikers cross the river from Bladensburg to Colmar Manor by taking a detour along Annapolis Road by the Peace Cross.
The bridge was originally built by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission in 2005.
It connects Bladensburg Waterfront Park to the Anacostia Tributary Trail System, which includes the Northeast Branch Trail, the Northwest Branch Trail and the Paint Branch Trail.
