Star star Writer

Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican Of Virginia, has urged
District officials to establish an
unbalanced-lane system on Key
Bridge during rush hours to
relieve traffic congestion.
However, District traffic en-
gineers say they are not sure
1t would help the situation.
The approach roads, they say,
cannot handle enough cars to
make an unbalanced-lane sys-
tenn feasible.
Mr.. Broyhill suggested in a
letter to Brig. Gen. Frederick j.
Clarke, the Districts Engineer
Commissioner, that the plan
would radically reduce the
present bottleneck."
The heavy congestion at
Rosslyn Plaza, caused by cars
feeding into the approach
circle to Key Bridge from Ar
ington highways and the
George Washington Memorial
parkway, has been bothering
District traffic engineers for
several years. The District.
Highway Department has juris-
diction over the Virginia end
Of the span.
Mr.. Broyhill said the size of
Rosslyn circle could be reduced
to provide three approach lanes
for cars using Lee highway,
Moore street and Lynn street.
Although the District ap-
proaches probably would not
be able to hnadle smoothly all
the cars In an unbalanced sys-
TEN. he said, it still would
reduce the bottleneck suf-
ficiently to make it worth
while.
