RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Just nine days ahead of the UCI bike race, new bike lanes are opening in Richmond.
The new bike lanes crossing the Manchester Bridge will be opened at 10 a.m. Wednesday at the corner of E. Byrd and S. 9th Streets. Mayor Dwight Jones will be in attendance, along with Bike Walk RVA.
Part of the course for the UCI Road World Championships travels across it, so the lanes will definitely come in handy very soon.
Mayor Jones is also expected to give an update on bike infrastructure improvements throughout the city.
8News will have a crew at the opening ceremony and will bring you the latest updates throughout the day.
