Contest to See Who Gets to Blow Up The Wilson Bridge in DC

Officials in charge of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge Replacement in Washington, DC are holding a writing contest to see who will get to push the button for demoloshing the old bridge. The person who had the worst commute will win.

The driver who endured the toughest commute over the old Wilson Bridge soon will get payback: Later this month, he or she will trigger detonation charges that will cut and bring down a nearly half-mile stretch of elevated steel girders that supported the old bridge over Jones Point Park in Alexandria, Virginia.
