5Road Channels to Speed Traffic on Parade Avenues

The traffic pattern at Penn
sylvania and Constitution ave-
nues NV. is having it's face lifted.
1t is getting new curves, calcu-
lated to smooth out awkward
criss-cross lines and allow a bet
ter stretch for turning.
A $4,000 paving and widening
project is well under way in the
general area between Third and
Sixth streets on the two pa
rade" avenues. District High
way Department engineers say
the job probably will be finished
before September l..
Instead of crossing near the
center of the diagonal intersec-
ton. drivers will use two short 30
foot roadways now being cut
across triangular parks in front
of the National Gallery of Art on
Constitution avenue and the site
of the new District Court build
ing on the north side of Penn
sylvania avenue near Third street.
Vehicles travelling west on Con-
stitution avenue and intending to
continue on that avenue at the art
gallery will move along Pennsyl-
vania In an inner lane and cross
at a cut-in stretch of pavement
through the west parkway.
Vehicles going east on Consti-
tuition avenue and planning to
continue that way will move along
Pennsylvania avenue and cross
into Constitution avenue at a
similar cut-in through the park
way near Third street.
Paving of the cut-in across the
west parkway has been completed.
and work started today on the
other parkway cut-in. The south
side of Pennsylvania avenue. east
of Fourth street and Immediately
in front of the tennis court area.
is being widened nine feet, as is
the north side of that avenue
west of John Marshall place.
The main benefit expected from
the new traffic channeling, engi-
neers explained, is that it will pro-
vide "a greater spread" for turn
movements and a larger "reser-
voir" for traffic by extending the
distance between turns at the
intersection.
This should relieve congestion
and increase traffic safeguards
by eliminating a potentially dan
gerous and comparatively narrow
crossing in the middle OF the
PENNSYLVANIA Constitution inter-
section, they said.

Lane Orders Work
On Chesapeake Span
Started Immediately
BY the Associoted Press

BALTIMORE, Aug. 16.-Gov
Lane has directed the State Roads
Commission to proceed immediate
ly with construction of a bridge
spanning Chesapeake Bay.
Building plans had been at a
standstill for several months.
Things came to a halt after it was
found the huge project could not
be carried out with the $37,500, 900
raised by a bond issue.
After a conference with the
Roads Commission and the High
way Advisory Council, the Gov
ernor announced in a statement
yesterday that work will proceed
with the idea that the whole job
may cost Sal. 100000.
New Bond Issue Planned.
A new bond issue of up to
s4,5O0,000 will be floated in the
near future to pay the extra ex-
penses.
The commission will take these
first steps:
1-Obtain bids on construction
of artificial sand islands around
the big central piers. The islands
will be designed as a protection
for ships which stray out OF the
channel between the piers and fol-
the bridge itself.
2-Obtain formal bid for the
building OF the entire superstruc-
ture.
3-Make efforts to "integrate
most economically and effectively
the =" bids received on the sub
structure other than the sand
islands"
The Advisory Council said that
the j. E. Greiner Co.. consulting
engineers who made cost estimates
for the State, had failed to include
enough money to provide for con-
tingencies arising from higher
prices.
The council said the additional
bonds will mot substantially
change the economics OF the Sit
uation."
To Be Paid Off by 1868.
The report said "it was clear to
the Advisory Council that all the
bonds, including the amount to
be issued for the additional
(funds) required for con-
tingencies, would be paid of well
ahead of the maturity OF the
present bonds in 1872.
while a final determination OF
the additional bonds cannot be
made precisely for about three
weeks, the Advisory Council con-
cluded that at maximum, the re-
vised total bonds would be paid
off out of tolls by 1862 or 1862
The bonds were fioated last
year under terms of a 1947 author
fzation of the General Assembly
The assembly gave the commits
sion authority to raise as much
money through bonds as neces-
sary to construct a bay crossing.
The bonds will be retired from
tolls from the bay bridge, as well
as the spans across the Susque-
hanna River at Havre de Grace
and the Potomac River at Nor
gantown.
