A ghastly weather day did not deter the city and Forest City Washington from holding their dedication ceremony for the new 627-foot-long, 20-foot-wide pedestrian bridge connecting the Yards Park and Diamond Teague Park, across from Nationals Park. For more about these photos and this project, see the accompanying blog post.
A lovely day for an outdoor ribbon cutting.
