14th Street Bridge

I got this e-mail today:

14th Street Bridge Closing Tuesday, May 27 On May 27, 2008 at 12:01 a.m., the 14th Street Bridge will close to vehicles and pedestrians. According to the current schedule, the bridge will not reopen until summer 2010. Motorists will be detoured to the 17th Street Bridge during this time.

With this closure, traffic congestion throughout Midtown is expected to increase, so plan your commute and daytime trips now.
