One, a regular vehicular bridge, is in upper Rock Creck Park, about a mile north of the ford near the Miller cabin. It is about thirty feet wide and connects the new roadway, open- tng into the park opposite the 16th street entrance to the Walter Reed neral Hospital, with Beach drive- v on the west side of the creek. he other bridge is of the pony- ype, about twelve feet wide, o5 the stream fust south of yivania avenue bridge, 1y from the foot of L street, to A" point on the west side, just above where the Chesapeake and Ohio canal enters Rock creek. 1t is designed for equestrians and pede: ns only, and forms the con- necting link between the bridle path along the river front in Potomac Park with the bridle path along- side Rock creek to the District line. The construction of these two Vridges was made possible by the use of surplus bridge material pur- chased for possible use in the world war and since stored at the engineer depot at Fort Humphreys. ~Both projects iwere approved by Maj.
