Good morning, D.C. This lovely shot of three converging bridges was posted to DCist Photos by Flickr user commonroman. As you can see, these bridges are in considerably better shape than the Eastern Avenue Bridge. Yesterday morning it was struck by a overly tall backhoe being hauled by a truck. Officials initially warned that repairs would take at least 48 hours, but are now saying the job may be completed more quickly than first expected. The bridge’s service lanes are open to traffic, but motorists are being encouraged to avoid the area if they can.

DMV Office May Reopen: Just hours after reporting that the agency’s K Street office was going to be permanently shuttered, the Post tells us that Director Anne Witt may have changed her mind. All or part of the building may be reopened, either to wind down operations or to continue to offer services to the public. Nobody seems sure what’s going to happen, but motorists with future hearings scheduled at the in-limbo office will get word of what to do sometime next week. Oh, and in case you haven’t heard, those with hearings this week are officially off the hook.

Day Laborers Killed: Two men are dead and a third is in critical condition after a morning stabbing at a Langley Park site where day laborers congregate. It’s not clear whether the men were fighting each other or attacked by someone else. Either way, the stabbings seem likely to become a part of the larger controversy surrounding such workers. Day laborers have been in the news lately due to a proposed center for them in Herndon. Tensions are high — WMAL recently whipped its listeners into a frenzy of angry phone calls over the issue.

ESPN Lobbying Pays Off: We’ve mentioned ESPN’s 50 States in 50 Days campaign before — a travelling celebration of local sports from which the District was conspicuously excluded. That prompted Mayor Williams and others to contact the network. Now it looks like their efforts have paid off: Sportscenter will broadcast from the Capitol on September 5.
