The Southwest Parkway bridge over Garfield Avenue will reopen to traffic late in the afternoon on Monday, May 23.

A ribbon cutting will be held at 5pm, to celebrate the completion of the 13-month long construction project. The ribbon cutting will be held on the north side of the bridge, entering off of 22nd Street.

As we previously reported, the original bridge was built in 1929.

Funding for the project came from the 2008 Capital Improvements Program (CIP) half-cent sales tax, with the project totaling $3 million dollars.
