(Arlington)- Drivers and pedestrians who use the Arlington Memorial Bridge will need to find a new route. The bridge will be closed to all traffic from 7 p.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Monday.
Boaters on the Potomac River are also warned to avoid the center span of the bridge this weekend as crews move barges into position, bring a crane up next to the bridge, cut holes in the bridge deck and lower steel supports into the river.
The closure is one of many planned over the next two years as major repairs are made to the crumbling bridge.
