New Bridges.

The new highway bridge across the
Potomac, which cost the government
Al 500. 600. and is said to be the finest
sonth OF the great Brooklyn Bridge, was
onened To the public Sunday. Unos-
ten,atious ceremony marked the dedi-
cation of the new structure, consisting
of an official visit of inspection yester-
dav by Commissioners mcfarland, Con-
gresham Babcock, chairman OF the
House District committee; General Nc
Kipzie and Capt. Spencer Crosby, rep
resen,ing the War Department. The
officials rode to the site of the bridge in
the palace car "Mount Vernon" OF the
Washington Alexandria and Mount
Vernon Railway Company, and after in
snecting the bridge and being shown the
working principles of tho huge draw,
declared 1t the most perfect piece OF
bridge construction they had ever seen.
The bridge is 2, $50 fee. long aud 60 feet
wide. In its construction it contains
moi a stick of wood. The piers are of
solid granite, the roadway OF concrete,
and the beams of steel. The compile
tion of the bridge and its opening To all
Kinds of traffic will mark the abendOn'
ment of the historic old Long Bridge,
which. it is said, will soon be
abandoned aud removed. The Alexan-
dria aud Mount Vernon Railway
was able yesterday TO move all its traf-
fic to the new highway bridge, bnt the
heavy loading, such as is involved IN
the great and increased traffic OF brick
making companies of Alexandria county,
Is in part impracticsble until the APP
nroaches are completed. In view OF this
Il is expected that Congress will extend
the tine for the removal of the Long
bridge auiil next December. In the
mesntime. the railroad will operate the
draw of the old bridge and otherwise
maintain it as the agent of the govern
men The new steel bridge of the Penn
svlvauia Railroad, recently completed,
handles all steam trains passing across the
Pot,mac. and with these two steel struc'
lures to replace the old wooden bridge a
great stimulus will be given cross-river
traffic and provision inside for the
future.
