m MB RIVER BRIDGE PRO*!
iter.
The Pee Dee Bridge Commission
set in Florence Oct. 15th and adjourned
sine die with all prospect of
I . government aid to a free bridge gone
RUmmering. About Feb. 20th the
bridge commission by unanimous
agreement selected a site 6000 feet
above the A. C. L R. R. crossing and
made a contract with an engineering
company to construct a
bridge across the river at about
996,'000.00. The bridge people shipped
equipment to Pee Dee and were
ready to begin operations.*At this time
eur Marion friends saw a blue print
of the bridge with a heavy red line
following the A. C. L. road bed and
indicated a good road via Dillon. As
a prominent Marion citizen said to me
I a "short cut" R.Tr. line at one time
'left Marion off the main line: so a
"short cut" highway might leave
them off the map again. It was nowj
necessary to find some way to cancel
the contract to build the bridge and
to open up again the question of a
, suitable site.
.. r- It was first contended that the relocation
of a site was necessary largely
on account of expense. Sifted to
last analysis it was found that the
advocates of crossing at Mars Bluff
t ferry figured on a low water bridge
with a cement coated road leading
- from Pee Dee to the bridge and only
a few inches higher than the present
road bed. This road has been submerged
several times every year and acts
as a spill way for flood waters in
time of a freshet. The estimate made
by government engineers for con.
structing this low water bridge agrees
very closely with cost estimated by
. Florence and Marion counties. This
bridge and spill way road in no manner
compares with the" high water
^ bridge and fftt planned by government
engineers and which could have been
completed at about $3 80,000. Of this
Urn $190,000 would have been paid
by the National government and the
.balance by Florence, Marion, Charleston,
Dillon and Berkeley counties.
This would have been a free bridge
and would have had government aid
. roads built approaching it. The bridge
would have been the means of building
up a great artery of travel second
to none in South Carolina.
A #second vision ruined our bridge
contract. Put on a toll charge that
will pay the cost of bridge and then
help build up the roads of Florence
and Marion counties.
We have perhaps for a generation
lost our chance of being located on a
great national highway. Our friends
at Cheraw will see that their roa^n
and bridge will attract any distance
travellers. Citizens of about three
counties may pay In tolls enough to
pay for the bridge, provided it does
not wash away before any considerable
amount can be collected. No great
thoroughfare can ever be built up
with the double handicap of (oils and
high water.
Dillon d&unty did no, seek nor expect
any advantage due to the location
of the bridge. Florence has lost
her last opportunity of getting on a
great highway. An
enlightened public can yet cure
a great mistake by demanding a
bridge at any one of the three locations
selected by government engineers.
