The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will close the one-lane Cabin John Bridge, also called the Union Arch Bridge, on MacArthur Boulevard in Cabin John on Saturday, Nov. 7, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a rain date of Sunday, Nov. 8.
This closure is for annual inspection and completion of minor repairs to the bridge. Annual bridge inspections involve hands-on checks of specific structural components that require yearly monitoring, followed by targeted minor repairs to address early wear and tear. Inspectors look for concrete cracking, steel corrosion, section loss, and bearing or joint movement.
