Virginia Pike Called Feasible
As Preliminary Study Ends

Maryland to the North Carolina
line.e
It would extend from a point
or points on the Virginia. Mary
land State line in Fairfax
County. within 10 miles west of
Washington. Thence it would
travel in a general southerly di-
rection, bypassing Fredericks-
burg, Richmond and Petersburg
to a point or points on the Vir-
ginia- North Carolina State line.
in the vicinity Of U. S. Routes /
and 301 and State Route 46.
The report by Mr.. Smiths firm
said preliminary plans may be
modified later by aerial field
surveys and the Virginia Depart
ment Of Highways requirements.
Officials explained the Virginia
Interstate Turnpike would even
tually tie into the Pennsylvania
Turnpike Extension, leading to
the vicinity Of Harrisburg, Pa,
and the proposed Maryland Toll
Road, beginning on the Mary
land-Delaware State line and
bypassing Baltimore and WASH
ington. =
Mr.. Smith declared the Mary
land Toll Road is, in effect, a
continuation Of the New Jersey
Turnpike.
Cabin John Bridge.
A proposed new bridge across
the Potomac River in the vi
cinity of Cabin John, Md, is
key point in the Virginia Turn
pike program. The Regional
Highway Planning Committee
has this bridge on It's maps. Rep
resentatives of the District
Highway Department. the Mary
land State Roads Commission
and the Virginia Department Of
Highways serve on this commit
tee.
william c. Burrage, planning
engineer Of the Maryland.
National Capital Park and Plan-
ming Commission, pointed out
that plans for the Cabin John
Bridge across the Potomac are
a link in the projected circum-
ferential highway around WASH
ington.
The Chesapeake Bay hr'dge
will connect with the new An
napolis- to- Washington rIeeM ay,
now under construction. Mr..
Burrage explained this would
connect with the circumferential
route in the vicinity Of Ardmore,
in Prince Georges County. The
new Baltimore to-Washington
Parkway. also now being built,
Will connect with the circumfer-
ential highway in the vicinity
OF Greenbelt. Mr.. Burrage de-
cIared. All these could link up
traffic with the projected Vir-
ginia Turnpike.
