WPB Orders Work
On Three Approaches
To Pentagon Halted
Rood Grading Project,
Two Bridges Bored
As Unnecessary Now

The War Production Board
today ordered work halted on
three road and bridge projects
leading to the War Department.
Pentagon Building.
The action was taken by WPB's
non-industrial facilities committee.
The projects stopped are estimated
to cost about 100000, representing
a major portion of the uncompleted
approaches to the War Departments
headquarters.
One OF the jobs which WPB will
not allow the Public Roads Admin
istration to carry out calls for re-
placement of temporary wooden
bridge on Lee boulevard at Boundary
Channel. 1t was decided the wooden
structure will be sufficient for traffic
until the war is over.
Ruled Unnecessary.
The second project halted was
bridge and its approaches on Lee
boulevard over Washington boule-
ward. This was the only job of the
three where any large amount of
work had been done.
The third job was DESIGNATED as
the southwest outer connection be-
tween Mount Vernon boulevard and
Fourth street and the south end of
Highway Bridge. This was a grad
ing project.
In canceling the projects, the WPB
committee ruled that the projects
were not necessary during wartime
All of the jobs were to have been
carried out by the Public Roads
Administration AS part of the
system of access roads connecting
Washington and nearby Virginia
with the huge War Department
headquarters.
Other Project May Go On.
At the same time. it was under
stood, WPB will allow completion
OF the controversial bridge over the
north end of the Tidal Basin, an
extension OF Independence avenue.
The committee recently voted to
halt this work, although it never
informed District authorities to stop
it.
1t was said the WPB committee
now will permit completion of the
work, by officially taking no fur
ther action on its vote to discon-
time
