10 *¥% NEW ROAD PARTLY READY BY NOV. 30 Montgomery Highway Not to Be Open Entire Length in Time for Exercises. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY, Staff Correspondent of The Star. BLIGO, Md, October 16.—While elaborate plans are being made by three Montgomery County civic bodies to cele- Bate, the latter part of November, the formal opening of the new direct high- way connecting Bethesda at Wisconsin avenue and the old Georgetown road and this place at Georgia avenue and the Colesville boulevard, it was learned yesterday that it will be after the first of the year before the entire highway ‘will be opened to traffic. At the same time, it was disclosed that the use of the greater part of the road from the new bridge over Rock Creek to the east depends entirely upon the completion by the District government of the paving of Sixteenth street from ia road to the District of Columbia-Maryland line, where it meets with the new cross-country road. Work is being pushed on this construc- tion, and Commissioner Lacy Shaw of the northern metropolitan district said that he believed it will be finished in time for the formal ceremonies. Will Have to Detour. If this link is finished, those using the road will find it necessary to go into the District by way of the new Sixteenth street improvement to Kalmia road, and thence to Sligo by way of Georgia avenue until the construction on the new highway between Six- teenth street and this place is finished. ‘The project which will prevent the opening of the highway for its entire length is the new viaduct which will carry the traffic under the metropolitan branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail- road west of here. Those in charge of the program for the construction ‘were unusually lnn'dlnngetunl this early agreement between the county, railroad and the State roads com- to who was going to handle the project, which is being done by private contractor. Commissioner Shaw ' said ¢hat after lgenu with the officials of the ery d State Roads Commission it had been decided that the road would be ready for opening, exclusive of the eastern end, by November 30. Even then it would be of little practical use un- less the District's part of Sixteenth street is completed. Unite for Ceremony. ‘The Chambers of Commerce of Silver Spring and Bethesda and the Mont- gomery County Civic Federation are to co-o) te in the formal opening ceremonies, first two to handle the program. The civic federa- tion had already launched plans for holding a federation dinner, to which it planned to invite Federal and Dis- trict of Columbia officials and District | - and dinner on the following the road- Loses Stock Profits.
