Thanks to reader Barbara for the heads up that an electronic sign has appeared on South Capitol Street this morning saying that the
Douglass Bridge is going to close at noon on July 5; at
the briefing on the
bridge's two-month closure and "Extreme Makeover" a few weeks ago, July 6 was announced as the date the bridge would close. I'm trying to find out if there has indeed been a change, and will update this post when I have details.
UPDATE: The bridge is closing at 12 midnight (not 12 noon), but at the end of the day July 5; in other words, the very start of July 6. Take your pick--think of it as closing at 11:59 pm on the 5th, or 12:01 am July 6.
