Thanks to Daniel for sending the photo above of the higher railings going up at the Taft Bridge.
From DDOT:
“The District Department of Transportation (DDOT), with active support from the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) and the Executive Office of the Mayor (EOM), is proposing the Connecticut Avenue NW/ William Howard Taft Memorial Bridge (Taft Bridge) Pedestrian Railing Improvement Project. Data from the District of Columbia’s Chief Medical Examiner’s Office indicates that 13 (50%) of the 26 bridge-related fatalities recorded in the District of Columbia between January 1, 2010 and January 1, 2022, occurred from the Taft Bridge. The presence of an effective barrier system will reduce the potential for such incidents. The project proposes a new pedestrian railing design that incorporates the existing features of the Taft Bridge to minimize impact to the historic fabric of the bridge and is compatible with the aesthetics of the bridge and its setting.”
