The City of Rockville, in coordination with its consultant Greenhorne & O’Mara Inc., conducted an inspection of the bridge that traverses Wootton Parkway. The inspection revealed potential issues with the structural integrity of some portions of the bridge. The consultant recommended the City close the bridge for a more thorough inspection, which is scheduled for next week.

Recommendations for repairs will be made based on inspection findings. The duration of the bridge closure is unknown at this time.

Rockville Department of Public Works has closed off access to the bridge and placed signs to alert pedestrians. Detour signs will be placed along an alternate route to help guide pedestrians to the safest alternate route.

Pedestrians should use the crosswalk located at the intersection of Wootton Parkway and Dundee Road to cross Wootton Parkway. They should continue on Wootton Parkway until reaching Lindley Terrace and stay on the sidewalk on Lindley Terrace to the entrance of Lakewood Elementary School.

A Rockville City Police officer will assist with traffic control both before and after school at the Wootton Parkway and Dundee Road intersection through the end of the week.
