doah and Potomac Rivers. The
road will follow the river south
and will connect with route $40 in
Virginia. The new road will link
up with the Sandy Hook Bridge
across the Potomac, more than a
mile east of here, which will pro-
vide the cross-river link between
Maryland and Virginia.
Pending is public appeal to the
State Road Comision from the Town
Council for a Eght-traffic bridge
into Virginia on abutments of the
old bridge across the river at "the
Point. Citizens made their plea
because the proposed nighttime
bridge would leave tits historic
town isolated, making it necessary
for traffic to use either a round
about road through Harpers Ferry
and adjoining Bolivar to get to the
new main bridge or make use of a
ramp approach, which the main
bridge plans have suggested. The
bridge across the Shenandoah, which
the light-trafflc crossing is designed
to replace, also was washed out in
the 1886 floods.
All-West Virginia Crossing.
Residents of Harpers Ferry, es-
pecially in the low area near the
river, have been protesting location
of the main bridge at the western
end of Bolivar since the plan was
suggested.
The new bridge which the COM
mission plans to build would be an
all-West Virginia crossing inasmuch
as West Virginia land lies on the
east side of the river.
All traffic now moving east and
west through here must use a COM
bination B. g. o. Railroad and We
hicular bridge which was opened for
the double traffic soon after the
Potomac toll bridge was washed out.
The new span will be toll-free.
