I don't often say this

My sympathies are with the bicyclist.

Oh my. I fully concur with the bicyclist's comment at the end of the clip. And I, too, am only rarely sympathetic to urban bicyclists. (A failing of mine, I readily acknowledge, but one I shall probably be unable to excise from my personality.)

I found a report what the police and VDOT are saying about this.

Thanks for the link - it's interesting that the VDOT say they have signs warning pedestrians to be careful of vehicular bridge tenders on the pedway during shift change. Those must be posted at the ends of the pedway, because I don't think I saw any in the video. It's also interesting that other agencies clearly don't think much of the idea.
