The 11th Street Bridge Park project could become a reality as soon as 2017 or 2018.

A new span of the 11th Street Bridge was opened today, allowing for a direct connection between the Southeast/Southwest Freeway and D.C. 295.

Traveling between Anacostia and Capitol Hill or Navy Yard should be easier starting today with the opening of the newest span of the 11th Street Bridge that will carry local traffic and pedestrians over the Anacostia River.

Come mid-2013, a new $300 million 11th Street Bridge will cross the Anacostia River. But what will happen with the old bridge that the new spans will replace? You’d be surprised to see what one D.C. office has in mind.
