Prefabricated Bridge
May Be Temporary
Wheeler Road Span
The District Highway Depart
ment is looking into the possibility
of a prefabricated bridge across
Oxon Run, to -carry traffic until
the new Wheeler road bridge is
completed next October,
Residents of the area * along
Wheeler road SJE. on both sides
of Oxon Run have petitioned the
department for a substitute for
the old bridge, destroyed to per
mit widening of the road. Traf
fic must now detour over At
lantic street.
Special Span Too Costly.
Department officials say a spe
cial temporary span would be too
expensive to construct. However,
they are investigating the possi
bility of obtaining a Bailey bridge,
such as is used by the military.
Meanwhile, District officials
prepared to take their plans for
the East Capitol street bridge be
fore the Pine Arts Commission
next Monday .
The plans, tentatively approved
by Commissioners, were cleared
last week with the National Capi
tal Park and Planning Commis
sion. Federal planners approved
them subject to working out some
details.
Must Submit Plans.
The new crossing of the Ana
costia River, which may cost up
to $12 million, cannot be ap
j proved finally by the Commis
jsioners until they have submitted
■ the plans to the two commissions.
The Highway Department hopes
to start work by January 1.
Highway officials also will
! present to the Fine Arts Com
mission plans for the New York
avenue overpass of the Penn
sylvania Railroad and of South
Dakota avenue for a connection
with the Baltimore-Washington
I parkway.
The Highway Department has
asked $1.1 million in the 1952 Dis
