Beleaguered commuter will get to blow up hated Wilson Bridge

ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- After carrying 73 billion or so cars and trucks across the Potomac River over the last half-century, the old Woodrow Wilson Bridge is slated for an ignominious demise at the hands of its arch-nemesis: the long-suffering commuter.

The state and federal agencies building a new Woodrow Wilson Bridge announced a contest Wednesday to find the commuter who faced the most fearsome frustration at the hands of the 45-year-old drawbridge, site of one of the East Coast's worst bottlenecks on the nation's busiest north-south highway, Interstate 95.

The winner gets a measure of payback: pushing the plunger on a midnight detonation of a half-mile of steel girders that supported the old bridge on the Virginia side of the river.
