Update on the Wasena Park Bridge

Here's an update in pictures on the new low-water bridge at Wasena Park. It looks a lot lower in real life than it did on the drawings I saw earlier and I'm wondering how a canoe with somebody in it might maneuver beneath this bridge. If that somebody was an ample me (above), we'd portage.

Anyhow, Liz Belcher, the doyenne of the Roanoke Valley Greenway, on which this bridge rests, says it'll be May before it's ready to cross on your bikes or your feet--or even your car.

One thing I'll give the builders: this looks quite a bit more substantial than what it's replacing.
