District and federal transportation officials opened the new, nearly $9 million Southern Avenue “gateway bridge” Wednesday to its 17,100 daily drivers.
The 420-foot bridge is located just south of Naylor Road over Suitland Parkway, near Congress Heights in Southeast. The project took about two years to complete.
