Bridge Approach Survey Started for Eastern Panhandle Links
Road Commissioner Burr H Simpson announced engineers began surveying possible approaches and sites for three eastern panhandle bridges to replace spans at Harpers Ferry Shepherdstown and Hancock damaged by March floods. The $175,000 project excludes wage park costs, with plans not yet drawn. A July 2 hearing was requested to locate the bridge as close to Harpers Ferry as possible, and Maryland will build a Potomac River span at Sandy Hook linking to Shenandoah River approaches in West Virginia. A temporary use of the Baltimore and Ohio bridge may be needed until the new structure is finished in about one to two years.
