The District is moving ahead with plans to replace the 11th Street bridges that span the Anacostia River in Southeast Washington, even as a local historic preservation group is suing to stop the project.
Mayor Adrian Fenty on Friday announced that the city had selected a contractor for the $300 million project to replace what the city has called “deficient” bridges.
The multiyear project will build two sets of new bridges — one for freeway traffic and one for local traffic. The freeway spans will connect Interstate 295 with the Southeast/Southwest Freeway, forming a route between the north and east that is currently cut off.
