KEY BRIDGE NEARS COMPLETION
AS WORK MOVES GRADUALLY ON

The wo-million- dollar concrete
Key bridge, which is to replace the
antlquated Aqueduct bridge at
Georgetown. is gradually nearing
completion. but will hardly be
ready for public use before next
sumRer. All the big piers, eight
in number, including the abut-
menfsS are practically completed,
as also are three of the four mas
sive connecting arches over the
river and the smaller arch span
ming the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal.
The arch near the Virginia shore
will be finished next month, when
the work of constructing the ad-
joining arch, which will have
span of 204 feet. will begin. Work
on that arch has been delayed by
the necessity of Strengthening the
temporary foundation for the steel
span on which the concrete arch
is laid. Recently a defect was dis
covered in the concrete base for
the temporary foundation of the
span at the rock bed of the river.
To remedy that condition Golfer
dam has to be used and large
spur built into the solid concrete
of the pier itself several feet un-
der water.
Maj. Lunsford E. Oliver. the en-
giheer officer in direct charge of
the work. recently made a per-
sonal inspection of the situation.
He donned a regular divers suit
and spent some time at the bottom
OF the river. which is there about
twenty-five feet deep, investigating
conditions. mainly by sense Of
touch. He verified the regular
divers report that the pier was
as solid and as strong as the
bed rock on which it rested, but
that a portion of the concrete

for the temporary pile foundation
