Apparently, Charlottesville's Belmont Bridge is in need of repairs ("rapidly deteriorating", "in need of major repairs"), so much so that they has to close the sidewalk. While they still let cars drive across it, right next to the sidewalk...  :spin:

The sidewalk on the other side of the bridge is open. One lane is closed also, but I'm not sure if it has to do with the bridge's conditions: http://goo.gl/maps/SWiyp
