Excerpt:

For the last couple months, the city has been trying to figure out the best way to keep its options open for re-using a piece of the old 11th Street Bridge when cars are going over a new one. The Office of Planning floated a "recreation bridge" that would have all sorts of programming, creating an even stronger connection across the Anacostia River. 

In order for the rest of the bridge to get finished, though, they had to make a decision last month about what to do with it. The outcome: The roadway will be demolished, and if a financial partner takes an interest, it could be rebuilt.
