The man who scaled the Frederick Douglass Bridge in D.C. said late Sunday that he plans to 鈥渟oon be leaving the bridge,鈥� as authorities continue to monitor the situation.
Florida鈥慴ased activist Guido Reichstadter thanked supporters and described his actions as a form of nonviolent protest in a .
South Capitol Street at the bridge fully reopened after 10 a.m. Monday, 小萝莉影视’s Traffic Center reported. All traffic on the bridge returned while Reichstadter remained on the roof.
D.C. Fire and EMS said a high鈥慳ngle technical rescue team has been working with police since Reichstadter climbed one of the bridge鈥檚 arches Friday afternoon.
The incident shut down South Capitol Street in both directions Friday, disrupting the afternoon commute and traffic ahead of a Washington Nationals baseball game at nearby Nationals Park.
D.C. police previously confirmed to 小萝莉影视 that Reichstadter is the same person who scaled the same bridge after Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022.
After that earlier incident, the District Department of Transportation said it planned to install permanent safety measures. But a DDOT spokesman said Friday the agency did not proceed because it 鈥渃ouldn鈥檛 find anything safe that wouldn鈥檛 create issues for the bridge.鈥�
