Annapolis, MD - Officials from the State of Maryland, Anne Arundel County, Prince George’s County, and local advocacy groups will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the completion of the WB&A Trail Patuxent River Bridge. Open to the public since May 2025, the bridge closes a critical gap in the WB&A Trail, connecting roughly 13 miles of existing paths in Anne Arundel and Prince George’s counties and strengthening key national trail networks.
This project was a collaborative effort involving Anne Arundel County’s Recreation and Parks, Prince George’s County - Maryland-National Capital Parks and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC), the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT), and the State Highway Administration (SHA). It received support and funding from federal, state, and local agencies and was championed by several bike and trails advocacy groups throughout the region.
