Shirley Highway
Truck Traffic
Ban Removed
Commercial Vehicles
To Use Full Length
Of New Expresswoy

Shirley highway was open to
truck traffic over its entire length
between Washington and Wood
bridge, Va, for the first time to-
day.
Virginia State police said they
had been notified by the State
Department Of Highways that the
former ban on trucks was ended,
and trucks should be permitted
to travel over the expressway.
Signs directing northbound
trucks to keep off Shirley highway
were taken down at Woodbridge
this morning by the State High
way Department. The Bureau of
Public Roads, which controls the
southbound entrance to the high
way, said no-truck signs would be
removed from there today or to-
morrow, at the request of the
State.
It was pointed out by the Bu-
reau OF Public Roads that it never
has restricted trucks from its
portion of the highway between
Washington and Leesburg pike.
but the no-truck signs were put
up at the highways entrance to
prevent trucks from getting on
the highway and then discovering
they could not pass beyond Lees
burg pike. .
Trucks have been banned from
the highway pending completion
of the northbound lane. The last
4R-mile stretch of the north
bound lane was finished about a
week ago, and passenger cars have
been travelling over it since last
Thursday. Before the northbound
lane was finished. passenger cars
travelled the full length of the
highway. using the southbound
lane two ways.
The Arlington County Board
and several nearby Virginia civic
groups attempted to have the
truck ban continued. even after
completion of the highway. They
said trucks would impede the ira
vel of commuters.
But the State stuck to its orig
inal plans of allowing trucks on
the highway, so they could by
pass heavily congested Route /
through Alexandria.
State highway officials expressed
the opinion, however, that trucks
probably would avoid the high
way during rush hours when COM
muter traffic is heavy.
