PROPOSAL H A s
SUPPORT IN
RICHMOND
Span Would Aid Materially
In Diverting Traffic From
Crowded Highway

Possibility that Virginia
State officials will accede to
the suggestion Of the Fairfax
(Va.) chamber of commerce
and seek funds from the Re-
construction Finance Corpora
ton for the building of a
bridge at Great Falls on the
upper Potomac, was indicated
today IN Richmond.
The plan was suggested as a
substitute for the one of erecting
q bridge on the lower Potomac
near Dahlgren.
The Virginia highway commits
sion has long been considering
erection of bridge on the upper
river. Several conferences be.
tween Maryland and Virginia
authorities have been held in the
past few years.
Such a bridge. it is claimed.
would aid materially in diverting
traffic that now jams the Rich
mond-W Washington Highway. A
cutoff road to connect with the
span is planned.
If the bridge is built, it was
said, the structure would be
toll bridge until the cost of its
erection had been collected.
The project has been indorSed
by leading Virginia organizations
and serious consideration is being
given the matter by highway
officials.
Opposition to the project is
expected. however, officials admit.
from residents of WeStmoreland
and King Georges counties.
