Plan Work on Creek Bridge Across Sideling Hill Creek
Reports indicate possible resumption of bridge work connecting Washington and Allegany counties within months. WPA crews widen and hard-surface a highway along a proposed route that would bypass the Sideling Hill grade, with bridge planked and steel installed from the former Western Maryland crossing. The project, begun under Dr. James E. Tabler, aims to improve access from Woodmont to Little Orleans, offering easier terrain and Potomac River views for nearby residents.
