At least thirty miles will be saved by people making a round trip between Cumberland and' Green Spring area. This elimination of extra driving is welcomed especially by hunters and fishermen having their camps on South Branch and who live in Cumberland. A small boat propelled by hand has been the only means of crossing the river at this point since a ferry was discarded about 28 years ago. A ford just below the site of the present bridge was passable only in late summer. Negotiations are being made to have the obsolete Chesapeake and Ohio canal bridge lowered, and roads leading to bridge from West Virginia and Maryland will be Improved shortly.
