Wilson Bridge
The proposed alternatives for the replacement of the Wilson Bridge have a 12-foot wide pedestrian/bicycle lane with appropriate safety offsets on the north side of the bridge. This bicycle facility would be included on the  new bridge and will connect to the existing/proposed trail systems in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. The connections will be made via ramps tying into the Mount Vernon Trail in Virginia in the vicinity of  the George Washington Memorial Parkway/Washington Street and the proposed Potomac Heritage Trail on  Rosalie Island in Maryland.

The Oxon Hill Bicycle and Trail Club is urging our government officials to use funding available through the federal Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) to expand the county trail system. For more info on TEA-21 visit these Web sites:
