Anacostia Riverwalk Update

It's been six months since we first visited the new hike/bike trail winding through our neighborhood. Lots of progress has been made! The path near us is finished, the lights are up, and a fence now separates the trail from the road much of the way. Soon we'll be able to bike on the trail all the way to the National Mall, the Arboretum, and the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens!

we aren't quite sure what these little side paths are for yet. there's plastic covering semi-circular concrete barriers.

the path hasn't yet connected directly to the other side of the east capitol street bridge, but it will soon (we hope!)
