Looks like we have a date for the demolition of the historic Talbot Avenue bridge. If you would like to experience this historic structure, time is of the essence. It will survive for only a few more weeks. Thankfully the main beams of the bridge (perhaps the only part of it original to the 1918 structure) are slated to be preserved and placed along the Capital Crescent Trail.
I apologize if I sound confusing, but I thought there was a whole successful campaign to save the bridge, given that it was important historically as it helped the neighborhood diversify?
They are preserving the main span of the bridge. It will be installed along the trail to give folks the feeling of passing over the bridge and will have a plaque outlining its historic significance. https://www.thewashcycle.com/2018/05/mta-to-save-part-of-the-talbot-ave-bridge-along-cct.html
As an aside, the bridge will be demolished this Friday, 5/17/19. There is a vigil planned for tomorrow night at the Bridge for one last goodbye.
