SEPT 16 | 11th Street Bridge Park Webinar
Join the DC Preservation League on Thursday, September 16th at 12:00pm EDT for a webinar about the 11th Street Bridge Park, led by project Director, Scott Kratz!
The 11th Street Bridge Park, a project of Ward 8-based nonprofit Building Bridges Across the River, will be Washington, DC’s first elevated public park. Located on the piers of the old 11th Street Bridge spanning the Anacostia River, the Bridge Park will be a new venue for healthy recreation, environmental education and the arts. After a seven-month design competition, the design team of OMA+OLIN was selected in October 2014. The Bridge Park draws on an extensive community outreach and consultative process, anchored by more than 1,000 stakeholder meetings for design, development and impact.
Pre-construction began in 2016 and the Park is expected to open by 2024. Beyond supporting the community's physical and environmental health, the Bridge Park also seeks to become an anchor for equitable and inclusive development in our nation’s capital.
