BRIDGING TIDAL BASIN
STRUCTURE FOE WHICH EXCA-
vATIoNs ARE MADE.

Work is progressing slowly on the new
concrete bridge which is being constructed
over the tidal basin outlet at the foot of
18th street, and it looks as II it win be
several months before the structure Is COM
pleted and ready for use OF the four piers
that win support the bridge only one is
showing shove the surface OF the water.
and on this only the foundation work is
done.
In the excavations for the piers at each
end Of the bridge the piling work. on which
the concrete foundation for the sub
structure will rest has been driven. They
are full Of water. and it is stated that be-
yond the driving of the piles no work has
been done in these cofferdams. The work.
men yesterday evening were employed in
laying the concrete foundations In the tidal
basin outlet nearest the Washington shore.
Down in the. bottom of the deep hole In
the river bottom, where the water. which
was high above their heads, was kept
down by the constant operation OF two
power pumps, were q score or more OF Ia
borers engaged in placing the tubs of con-
crete in place as fast as 1t was lowered to
them.
In one corner of the cofferdam a stream
Of water which looked to be as big as a
barrel was bubbling up under the wooden
walls. The two big pumps were sending
solid streams of water out at the top, and
LIB kept TIE COH0tQdIQ QTy eHOuSu lOT luC
men to work in it. AS stated, nothing has
yet been done on the concrete super
structure of the new bridge, and will not
be done, it is understood, until the four
piers are completed.
Dimensions Of the Structure.
This new bridge is to be 202 feet long
over all and 1862 feet between abutments,
and will consist OF three arches seated on
the four piers, each arch or span being fifty
feet. The bridge will be sixty-four feet
wide, and will be fourteen feet above mean
low water 1t will be deck type bridge,
and will have no overhead structure, like
the big bridges that span the main body of
the river. This bridge, like the new Con-
necticut Avenue bridge, will be constructed
of concrete. Not only will the arches and
piers be of concrete, but the ornamental
railing that will guard the river side of the
bridge will also be Of that material. In
the arches iron will be used, it is under
Stood to give strength to the concrete, and
the keystone Of the arches will be Of gran
lite. The new structure win be paved with
granofthic paving and will be lighted by
four 1000 candle-power electric lamps in
handsome bronze fixtures, and at night the
bridge will be brilliantly Illuminated from
end to end. A double track electric rail-
way will cross the bridge and will be used
by the electric roads coming into the city
from Virginia,
