The work of building this massive
structure, which Is here illustrated, he
gan Sept. l. 1893, and has continued
without cessation until now, and will
cost when completed considerably more
than $3,000,000. The completion of the
new work will permit the opening OF
all cross streets under the railway and
so admit a perfectly free passage for
street traffic.
One hundred and thirty-eighth street,
which has become great thoroughfare,
will be entirely free, as the trains
which heretofore crossed 1t at grade
will pass over it at an elevation that
will allow street cars and all traffic
