WILL CONSTRUCT
NEW ROAD LINK
Highway Connecting Massa-
chusetts Avenue and Zoo to
Be Built Soon.

The office of public buildings and
public parks Is getting ready to COM
plete another road link In the Rock
Creek and Potomac Parkway, starting
July /, when additional funds become
available. The new section lies be-
tween Massachusetts, avenue and the
Geological Park. Part of this road
was constructed last year and the
connection will be completed this COM
ing fiscal year, so that 1t will then be
possible to drive from the northern end
Silver Spring, Md, down to Massa-
chusettS avenue. -
This section TO be built will connect
with the existing road in the Zoologi-
cal Park, which Is under the direction
of the Smithsonian Institution, but
eventually, 1t is felt that the Office of
public buildings and public parks will
have to construct separate road
through the Zoo.
The animals in the Zoo present a
problem, as it Is feared that their rest
will be disturbed by motorists Of the
future who will travel at night down
the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway
when that park traffic artery Is COM
pleted within the next few years.
When the construction of the road in
Rock Creek Park, south of Massachu-
sets avenue, is started, when appropri-
atoms become available, great amount
of excavation will have to be under
taken in order to have road properly
protected from landslides. The new M
Street Bridge, now being constructed,
Is being so built that an adequate un-
derpath in the park can be built, as
the bridge abutment is being moved
farther west. It is planned to have a
connection with the park road at the
southern end of Florida avenue. g..
While there is sentiment to have
the Rock Greek and Potomac Parkway
completed by 1882 for the George
Washington Bicentennial Exposition to
link up the completed Arlington Me-
mortal Bridge, the rate Of progress de-
ponds upon the appropriation that Con-
gress makes available for the construc-
ton of highway skirting the famous
Rock Greek.
