(Washington, DC) – On Saturday, November 23 at 11:30 am, Mayor Muriel Bowser will cut the ribbon on the rehabilitated Monroe Street Bridge in the Brookland neighborhood of Ward 5, part of the District’s years-long effort to repair critical infrastructure.

Since January 2015, the Bowser Administration has reduced the District’s inventory of structurally deficient bridges from 11 to four.
