WELL UNDER WAY
Disinteorating of Sylvan Slough
Bridge to Give Way to New
One Progressing Rapidly.
THE WIRES ARE REMOVED
Cables Are Now Hung from Poles
in Middle of Stream East of
Structure.

The work of removing the present
Sylvan slough bridge is now well I'M
der way, and as it progresses the prob
lem of transportation for the enormous
daily traffic between Davenport and
Rock Island looms up larger and with
greater difficulties. The outer portion
Of the viaduct over the railway tracks
is being removed. and already the por-
ton of the stone approach to be re-
built has been torn away, and the re-
infOrced concrete work is well under
way. In order that the telephone and
other wire service between the two cit
les may not be affected during the con-
struction of the bridge, the companies
have had poles set in the middle of the
stream, some distance east of the
bridge, and the wires have been strung
on these and removed from the bridge.
The metal structure supporting the
viaduct over the railway tracks is be
ing rapidly replaced by wooden scat
fold supports, and the beams are be
ing removed. The work under way at
present is in the nature of preparation
for the later construction work. The
new piers TO be built will soon be com
menced, and the present bridge will be
gradually disintesrated.

Closed Three Months.

The contractors. Bayne & Hewett of
Minneapolis, will proceed with the
work in such way that traffic will be
shut off as short a time as possible
The contractors. however. may close
the bridge for three months. The new
structure must be complete. under the
contract, by Nov. l. The indications
are that the bridge will not be closed
until late in July. During the time
traffic is closed over the bridge. the
only communication between the cities
will be that afforded by the ferry serv-
ice. The Tri-City Railway company in
tends. however, to ask for permission
to establish a service by way of the
FOrty-secOnd street bridge. used for the
arsenal work trains. This will not re-
lieve the situation much as far as Rock
Island is concerned. but will give Z
practically direct street car service be
tween Moline and Davenport.
