NOT ADVISABLE
TO BUY THAMES RIVER BRIDGE
Report Of Commission Named by the
State-Must Wait for Railroad to
Move.

The special commission concerning
Connecticut river ferries and the
Thames river bridge, of which Rep
resentative T.. E. Wilton of New Lon
don is chairman and the other mem
bers are Representatives J. A. Noble
and ]. l.. Pratt, this week made a VOL
luminous report on the matters which
it had in hand.
The Thames river bridge. with its
in comparison with bridges designed
primarily for highway requirements.
and is owned and used by the N Y.
N. H. & H. r. r. Co, exclusively for
railroad purposes.
1t has a long draw of the swing
ing type, supported upon a central
pier, and it carries the heavy traffic
and large numbers of trains which are
operated over the Shore Line division.
the providence division. and the Sec
ond district of the Midland division
During a period of at least five or
six years past it has been frequently
reported in local newspapers that a
new and heavier bridge over the
Thames river at New London was to
be built by tie railroad company: and
that In that event the present bridge
might be obtained. suitably altered
and when provided with proper an
proaches, be made available for high
way purposes. Certain surveys have
peen made and maps prepared show
ing one or more tentative proposed
locations for a new railroad bridge:
and legislative authority was obtained
by the railroad company in 1909 to
make~certain changes in the layout
OF the bridge approaches within the
towns of New London and Croton

made with men representing the labor

date construction Of such a proposed
bridge, other than such preliminary
surveys maps, ETC., have, however, not
yet been begun. There has been no
public advertising for substructure or
superstructure construction. There
has been no assembly Of such tempo
rary or permanent materials or equip
ment as would be required in large
quantities even for the preliminary
work relating - an undertaking of
such magnitude.
Inasmuch as the construction OF the
underwater foundations. piers, ETC., of
the massive nature required for q new
railroad bridge of the necessary type
would probably occupy a period Of
time longer than two years; and as
much additional time would also be
required for the construction and
erection Of tho requisite massive SUI
perstructure, it has not seemed to the
commission advisable to recommend
any present attempt on the part of
the state to acquire the bridge now
in use.
The commission has been ready
since its appointment to receive any
tenders from the railroad company of
this bridge, with it's piers and ap-
proaches, but as the present railroad
bridge cannot possibly be converted
into highway bridge until such time
as the railroad company has finally
competed anu begun 70 use SoLle
other means Of crossing the river, it
has been thought by the commission
a wiser public policy to await some
such tender; particularly as it seems
very apparent that the general assem-
bly, of 1913 will have convened before
legislation upon this subject will be
necessary in ths public interest.
Reference has been made above to
the long swinging draw Of the present
bridge, supported upon q central
pier. Certain preliminary tentative
plans for new railroad bridge pre-
vious1y referred to, which have been
publicly shown, disclose location on
Iy slightly further north than the site
of the present bridge; and such plans
indicate the use OF draw Of the lift
ing rather than the swinging type.
The final carrying out of such pro-
posed plans would. on account of the
proposed location, also involve costly
alterations in the swinging draw of
the present bridge. since the proposed
location of the new bridge as shown
in such tentative plans is SO near the
old as 90 interfere with the present
swinging draw. 1t seems to the COM
mission that such Interference would.
if carried out, entail great economic
waste, because the large cost of such
alterations in the old drawbridge az
were thereby made necessary would
then probably become O part Of the
expense to be borne by the public in
the event that the present bridge was
to be acquired for highway purposes.
1t therefore seems to the commission
that at the proper time some local or
state authority should have oppor-
tunity to be heard with regard to the
new location, If the old location is
actually to be abandoned and so made
possibly available for highway pur-
poses
In view of the foregoing, the COM
mission does not deem it at present
advisable for the state to seek to ac-
quire the bridge crossing the Thames
river at New London. owned and used
by tho N. Y, N. H. & II. R. r. Co.
