east from the vicinity Of Fair
view avenue to about 2.400 feet
beyond Bladensburg road.
Whitehurs't freeway in
Georgetown Is the only elevated
expressway in the District at

The city already Is committed

The highway director said
the project is intended to come
within the l3-year Federal in

however. and that IL approved
for inclusion in this program
it would be 80 per cent financed
with Federal funds.
