A Bridge Too Far No More!

A bridge too far no more! Battlefield Pkwy bridge is finally
OPEN! Sort of…. You see before any bridge opens in Leesburg it is the law that
all the normal needy talking heads need to gather at the center of the bridge
and do the ceremonial pat on the back. I understand it is also law that each of
these needy self-important people must speak for at least 5 minutes. That’s
right, not also do they need to pat themselves on the back but they must also
sing- song everyone to sleep with their monotone drone.

The good news is that after all the ceremonial pat on the
backs are done (good job councilmen and women way to put up those support beams!)
traffic heading south on rt 15 should be greatly reduced. Those of us who live
in the SW part of Leesburg should also save a few minutes on there commute.
Those who live in Tavistock Farms should see the most timesavings. I do have
one word of caution for anyone taking this route as a short cut, the speed
limit is 35 MPH and it is enforced by our own Barney Fife. No kidding! I run this route daily and
I normally spot at least one speed trap.
