PLANS FOR THE NEW BRIDGE.
Designs for the Structure in the
Hands of Colonel Allen

The plans for the new railroad bridge to
be erected by the Baltimore and Potomac
Railway Company across the Potomac
about 500 feet above the present Long
Bridge. have been submitted to the Secre-
tary of War by the engineer of the rail-
way company The drawings are now in
the hands of Colonel Alien the president
of the board of army officers who have the
construction of the bridge in hand.
The plan submitted is for bridge which
while constructed of steel, is in accord
architecturally with the present structure.
The proposed bridge will be of the Pratt
truss pattern, twenty-one and one-half feet
above low mean water which is more than
ten feet higher than the Long Bridge.
The draw of the proposed bridge is of
the pivot or swing type. which will leave
a channel of 100 feet clear on each side of
the centre pier that supports the swing
bridge Including this centre pier the
bridge across the Georgetown channel win
have thirteen piers. though the channel
itself VIII be in the two 100 feet openings
of the draw.
Beginning on the District end of the
bridge there will be two spans 10 feet 3
inches long from centre to centre of the
piers, two PIG feet inches, two 40 feet 3
inches (these form the openings in the
draw OF 100 feet IN the clear; four spans
2i6 feet inches, two spans 203 feet 9
inches. and one span of 170 feet inches,
which reaches to the Virginia side
The pier supporting the draw and the
piers on each side of it are proposed to be
built on pneumatic caissons the other
piers to be on piles and grillage.
The bOrings made below the site of the
draw show rock at a depth of over 100 feet
below mean water level. Four other bor-
ings along the route of the bridge were
made from the Virginia shore to the en-
bankment on the reclaimed flats, none of
which reached the rocks The boring
near the Virginia end of the bridge was
carried to depth of l22 feet inches
the lowest strata reached being sand and
clay. Between this boring and the draw
two other borings were made, one to a
depth of III feet and the other TO a depth
of 90 feet inches. Between the draw and
the fats there was one boring IS feet
inches deep The distance between the
piers Of the present Long Bridge is about
