The Washington Times reports that the Woodrow Wilson Bridge Project will be completed and all 10 lanes opened by Monday morning’s rush hour. It’s difficult to quite comprehend what the end of this project will mean for commuters; it’s virtually impossible to remember a time when the Wilson Bridge, either the old or the new one, didn’t cause huge backups. As long as the weather cooperates this weekend though, it should be the last time…

The Wilson Bridge will be restricted to a single lane this weekend, and officials are warning drivers to avoid it all together or risk facing traffic delays of 90 minutes or more.

After an interstate bridge collapse in Minneapolis killed four people yesterday evening, authorities in the Washington metro area are reassuring drivers that the region’s bridges are safe, and there’s no reason to think something like that could happen here. The Minneapolis bridge was in the midst of being repaired, and there are several major bridges in D.C. also undergoing construction, including the the Wilson Bridge and the Douglass Memorial Bridge — though the latter has…

There’s no denying it’s hot enough to cause real discomfort, but is it too hot to reasonably believe that two young girls willingly got inside the closed trunk of their father’s car to play?
