Progress on Railway Bridge.

Rapid progress continues to be MADE on
the new railway bridge over the river ana
a fair idea of how the structure will ap-
pear when completed can now be obtained
from the work done. Within the past ten
days another span of the steel work has
been completed making four spans finished,
and the parts of the fifth span are being
placed in position and bolted and riveted
together This work Is all at the Wash
ington end of the bridge, but preparations
to start the steel work at the Verginia end
are in progress But little work remains
to be done on the big trestle that will form
the approach to the bridge from the tracks
in Virginia, and as soon as temporary
tracks can be laid on it, and the cars Of
material be showed out upon It, the steel
work, 1t Is stated will be commenced. The
false work, which forms the temporary sup
port of the iron structure while being put
in position, is in place almost the whole
length of the bridge. Temporary tracks,
which are to be run upon the Virginia ap-
proach trestle, are now being laid by the
trackmen. The entire bridge, exclusive of
the draw-span, is eleven spans long, and
stated. about four and a half spans are
completed. On the approach at the Wash
ington end the work is also being pushed
and the big stone piers over which the
tracks come into Washington are in various
stages of completion. 1t now looks as if
the iron work and the approaches will be
completed at about the same time
