OLD BRIDGE SEEN
AS TRAFFIC HAZARD
Workmen Begin the Razing
of Structure Over Little
Hunting Creek.

WOODLAND, Va, December 90
Workmen of the State Highway De-
partment this week started to tear
down the old bridge over Little Hunt
ing Creek at the junction of the
Richmond and Mount Vernon roads.
When the State Highway Depart
ment decided to eliminate the danger
Gus curves on the Richmond road at
Gun Springs, following innumerable
accidents and a flood of. complaints
from civic organizations, 1t was decided
TO construct a new bridge over Little
Hunting Creek a few feet to the west
OF the first structure and to route a
new section of roadway from the creek
to the top of Snake Hill which would
eliminate most of the torturouS curves
at Gun Springs and provide a better
grade up the hill.
County officials were much disturbed
when the new bridge was built to see
that 1t was narrower than the old
bridge and several feet lower in level.
Protests were lodged with the COM
mission, asking that the level Of the
new bridge be raised to correspond
with the old structure and that the two
be united in one wide bridge which
would amply care for traffic at this
point. The supervisors and citizens
state that the bridge now being torn
down was not wide enough to safely
accommodate the volume of traffic at
this junction point and that instead
of widening it, the State has narrowed
the entrance, thereby presenting in
creased hazard. j. c. Albright, dis
trict engineer, met with the supervisors
several months ago and inspected the
site. but refused to make any change
in the plans.
