Permanent Improvements and Shop Build.
inJs.
The new roadway upon which the Chicago
st. Paul & Omaha company is engaged thil
year is limited to completion of its Nortt
Wisconsin and Nebraska divisions, on each o
which large force is at work and will be en-
ployed throughout tie roadmaking season
These will make a large addition to the mile
age of the company but will hardly cost SC
much as the permanent improvements thu
company is making along its main
lines. These include relayihg of the
road with steel ,and replacing wooden bridges,
etc., with permanent structures of iron an(
stone. Among the most important bridges i.
the one just finished over the Chippewa rivel
at Eau Claire-a handsome and strong iror
bridge, $50 feet long, resting ON stone piers
and abutments eighty-four feet above th'
bridge which withstood the great flood of las
June, but was at one time thought to be il
danger from the log jams. Another, being
built over the Eau Claire river, will be 474 fee
long. A new iron drawbridge, 32(
feet long, has been placed in the bridge
over Lake st. Croix at Hudson, and the clever
other spans of that crossing are to be replaced
this year with iron superstructure on ston,
piers. This will complete the permanent re
construction of important bridges of the East
ern division. The relaying Of this division
with steel rails is nearly done; the st. Pan
division is wholly relaid, and the Sioux CIT,
division will be all relaid before fall, SO tina
by the opening of the fall movement of coun
try products the main track will be all stee
from Elroy to Sioux City.
