City Manager Robert D.

Heitsch Jr. said Richards was due this afternoon to show maps depicting the proposed location of the portion of the approach to be financed with state funds. The state portion, which extends from 7th St. near 3rd Ave. out to the Rock River, carries a cost estimate of some $4.5 million.

The spongy material probably would not be suitable for carrying a much-used roadway. Heitsch said the maps Richards brings to Rock Island probably will show the final route the state has selected for its portion of the i work.
