Mother nature just didn’t seem to want to let the city close Chain Bridge for an entire weekend of reconstruction work earlier this year. Work on the bridge was originally scheduled for late January and early February, but freezing temperatures, several snow storms, and last weekend’s lengthy rain storm prevented it from getting back on track. But the District Department of Transportation says that finally, weather permitting, the work is a go for this weekend.

Chain Bridge will be entirely closed from 8 p.m. on Friday, March 19 until 5 a.m. on Monday, March 22 while crews work on the bridge deck, approaches and structural steel beams. There will be no access, whether by car, bicycle or on foot, to the bridge at all from either the District or Arlington. Use the American Legion, Key, Roosevelt, Memorial or 14th Street Bridges instead.
