AlexRenew will cut the ribbon on the new promenade at RiverRenew Plaza on Oct. 18 at Pendleton and N. Union Streets in Old Town.
The new plaza at 501 N. Union Street sits atop AlexRenew’s RiverRenew project, which will divert millions of gallons of raw sewage from the Potomac River via a 2.2-mile-long underground tunnel that’s been under construction for four years. Speakers at the ribbon-cutting ceremony include Mayor Alyia Gaskins, AlexRenew Board Chair John Hill, AlexRenew CEO Justin Carl, and Waterfront Commission Chair Louise Roseman.
“In support of RiverRenew, crews have been building a massive underground facility at the intersection of Pendleton and Union Streets,” AlexRenew said in a release. “As work on this facility winds down, AlexRenew is opening the new promenade that sits atop this facility, connecting the community to a healthier Potomac River.”
The event will take place from 8:00 to 8:30 a.m.
