Force OF Carpenters Are Tearing up
the Old Bridge Floor aud Putting
in New One.
Melville Boyers and Wilson Ire
land have the contract for putting a
new floor into the old Monongahela
Bridge. They are now hard at work
and have the left hand roadway
blocked. They are fixing this one
up first. The old floor is being re
moved and the new one is going in.
The old one consisted of two lay
ers of plank. One of these was two
inches thick and the other two and
three quarters. The new floor is to
have but single layer and is to be
three inches in thickness. 1t is
claimed that one thickness will OBJ
yiate the collection of moisture and
prevent the flooring from rotting as
quickly as lit has done heretofore
when two layers we're put down.
The job will take a month to COM
plete and during it's progress the
traffic will all have to use one of the
road ways. This delays matters some
what and teams have to wait their
turn to cross.
