| A scheme is now before the Legislature for
connecting the Richmond & Petersburg railroad with the {Virginia}
Central railroad, by means of a tunnel under 8th street, from
Byrd street to the valley, north of French Garden Hill. The estimated
cost is $200,000. Another plan is to construct a tunnel passing under
the Capitol Square, diagonally, and opening in the hillside beyond the
President's House. Other schemes to accomplish the same object, have
been proposed, and are now under consideration. |
