The stone bridge that ferries Grant Road foot, bike and car traffic over the Broad Branch stream has long been in a state of disrepair. And it is finally getting a fix.
Two fixes, in fact. Work crews are shoring up its underbelly.

While the work is under way, the bridge is limited to one lane of car traffic each way. The Rock Creek NPS website lists the project along with its other road work alerts.
