| The new
span of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge includes a bike trail. The bridge
carries I-95 over the Potomac River, connecting Alexandria, Virginia,
with Prince George's County, Maryland. The original bridge, opened
in 1961, had no provision for pedestrians and bicyclists. However,
in the intervening decades planners became more aware of the importance
of including pedestrians and bicyclists when designing facilities
like this.
