Plan For Viaduct. The scheme for the viaduct, present outlined, would cr foot cut from the line of B street, run- ning through and bisecting the water gate alongside the Memorial Bx'ldp?,! traverse an underpass under the fi east abutment of the btidge and ri ing gradually, bring the roadway to the . surface near the Ericsson Me- morial Statue. The alternate scheme wonld be to route southbound traffic over the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway, straight through to the east end of the bridge, where its crossing with traffic over the bridge would be controlled by lights or by manual sig- nals. Still another alternate scheme in the mind of members of the fine arts body would route eastbound traf- fic over the bridge south to a point near the Ericsson Memorial, whence it would proceed eastward around the Lincoln Memorial and thence down- town via B street. The viaduct scheme would force southbound traffic into the park to turn east on B street to reach the | entrance to the tunnel under the pier of the Memorial Bridge.
