New Highway Bridge
May Be Among First
Postwar Projects
Commissioners Receive
Authority to Prepare
Engineering Studies

If present plans carry, q new
highway bridge over the Potomac
may be one of the first major post.
war projects of the District.
The Commissioners have received
authority to 60 ahead now with en-.
gineering studies and preparation ot
complete working drawings under
the District allotment of Federal aid
funds approved by the Public Roads
Administration.
Just what type of bridge would be
the result Is not yet determined
although one suggestion is for a
structure with one section for
northbound travel and the other for
southbound. Engineers say the cost
would be little more than for a sin
gle structure. They add that the
draw span. no doubt, would be in two
units because of the width Of the
bridge probably will have. A six
lane roadway is contemplated.
Bridge Opened in 1906.
Highway Bridge was opened to
traffic in February, 1906, the result
Of a campaign conducted by The
Star for replacement of the obsolete
and inadequate Long Bridge. This
old span, which President jackson
and his cabinet crossed when it was
opened in 1885. was the successor to
an earlier and more famous Long
Bridge, pile structure l mile long,
with wooden roof, which was au-
thorized under an act of Congress
signed by President jefferson.
The first Long Bridge was opened
to the public May TO- 1909. When
the British invaded Washington in
1914, they set fire to the north end
Of the bridge. Retreating American
forces fired the south end In a move
to halt the invaders.
Highway Bridge, once considered
one of the finest south of New York,
now is regarded as obsolete and of
inadequate traffic capacity. The
draw span has caused trouble, show
ing the effects of age and the 81
years of water wear has not i'm
proved the pilings on which the
bridge stands, officials say.
The old buckle-plate flooring Of
the bridge was replaced about IS
years ago with a laminated wood
deck, but officials regard the present
flooring as not so good.
Accident Rate Pretty High"
Traffic demand is one reason for
planning a new span. Highway Di-
rector H. c. Whitehurst reports
$4,000 cars now cross the bridge on
an average day, but that before gas
rationing the figure was about
$4,000. The bridge has 4O-foot
roadway and the accident rate has
been pretty high" officials say
with trucks frequently sideswiping
the trusses.
After some discussion of the pro-
posed project the Park and Plan
ming Commission has referred the
subject to the co-ordinating COM
mittee representing the District
Government and several Federal
agencies for study. Some officials
say they do not have in mind a
span of monumental character,
such as Lincoln Memorial Bridge,
but that a six-lane structure, even

and $5,000,00O.

department of information of the

was regarded by the industry as a
valuable man in Washington and it

in Washington, although PAW has
thus far fallen down in its efforts
to convince OPA that the war pro-
gram is endangered by a shortage
of crude oil. He will now try the
hard way-to convince the public
