Detailed Virginia Alexandria road survey notes
A long reader’s note outlines a projected improvement plan for the Washington to Alexandria government test road. It describes material types from bitulithic to gravel, sections of rough dirt and mudholes, underpass needs, temporary detours via Agnewville, and a final route to Chopawampsic Creek and Fredericksburg. Completion is aimed by March 1, 1917, with penalties for noncompletion.
