Construction Delayed
On Key Bridge Ramp
Due 10 Emergency

Construction of a ramp of Key
Bridge to permit easy access to
the new Spout Run connection
with the George Washington Me-
mortal Parkway will be delayed
because of the national emer-
gency.
Arlington motorists who have
been using the new dual-line link
since Saturday can circle onto
Key Bridge on their way to Wash
ington, but returning home there
is no ramp to the parkway.
Public roads officials said they
expect that some motorists will
shift from Key Bridge to Memorial
Bridge on the homeward trip so
that they can travel on the park
way.
Cost Put at S25O.O0O.
Cost of the ramp at Key Bridge
IS estimated at $250,000. The prof.
ect would be ex ,ensive, road Off
cials said, because the height OF
the bridge above the parkway
would require a long trestle and
fill.
Spokesman for the roads ad-
ministration also indicated that
the primary purpose Of construc-
ton of the new highway is for a
parkway-"not as a general serv-
ice road"
The national emergency is ex-
pected to delay the project even
if road officials decide to favor it.
One spokesman, who declined to
be quoted by name. said that
there are no defense plants at
Great Falls" The parkway as
planned will run from Mount
Vernon along the Potomac River
to Great Falls.
State Would Pay Half.
Arlington County is extremely
interested in construction of the
proposed ramp to relieve traffic
congestion on heavily Travelled Lee
Highway. The Spout Run con-
nection takes some automobiles
off the highway between Cherry
dale and Key Bridge.
State officials are also eager to
provide direct access from the
bridge to the Memorial Highway
and the new connection. The
State has offered to pay half the
cost of the ramp.
