Especial to The Times. Dispatch.

PETERSBURG. VA. May 9.-The
overhead bridge project in connection
with the new concrete flvc.span struc-
ture to be erected across tho Appomat-
tox. to take tho place of the present
Bishop Bridge, is taking definite shape.
The matter has for some time been in
the hands Of Joint committee OF tho
Council and the Chamber Of Commerce,
and that committee has been indus
trfously at work developing the project.
1t has interested the Norfolk and West
crn Railway Company and the super
visors OF Chesterfield County in the
movement. and hopes to interest tho At
lantic Coast Line Company. with which
negotiations are in progress. An over
head bridge at the Petersburg terminal
to span the railroad near the Union
Station, would necessitate a change in
tho plans originally designed for the
new Appomattox bridge, for the con-
struction of which the city, appropri-
ated and now has in hand $4,000. It
would necessitate the raising Of the
height OF the bridge. the building of
viaduct at the Petersburg end we'll up
to point on Second. near Bollingbrook
Street. and the extension Of the struc-
ture on the Chesterfield side to a
point we'll up on the turnpike. This,
of course. would involve much in
creased expense. The Norfolk and
Western Railway Company very cordi-
ally approves the overhead scheme, and
has agreed to contribute az much as
$50, 200 towards the cost. The commit
tee Is hopeful that the Coast Line Com
pany will also contribute literally.
Chesterfield County is expected to bear
the expense of grading the turnpike
approach TO the bridge. The total cost
Of the bridge with the overhead and
viaduct terminal Is estimated at about
