IN USE FOR A CENTURY
WATERLOO BRIDGE REBUILDING RECOMMENDED (British Official Wireless.) pres* Association—By Telegraph—Copyright RUGBY, June 9. (Received June 12, at 1 a.m.) The London County Council will on Tuesday have before it the joint report of the Highways Committee and the (Finance Committee, which recommends that immediate steps be taken for the rebuilding of the 100-year-old Waterloo Bridge with a width to carry six lines of road traffic. , ~ , For over ten years the bridge has been out of full commission owing to the subsidence of the piers, due to the lowering of the river bed caused by the scour of the stream, which, at this point, bends sharply to the south below St. Paul’s Cathedral. One-way traffic, slowed down to walking pace, is at present permitted over the bridge, and a temporary structure alongside it carries the cross river traffic in the opposite dieotion.
