PROGRESS ON THE
OTTER CREEK BRIDGE

One of the abutments for the
Otter Creek bridge, near Red
House, has, been completed and
work on the second one is started
and this will be followed by the
piers, of which there will be three.
The grade work on the far side
Of the structure has been almost
completed and the concrete laid.
The work on this side will not be
taken up at this time in order to
keep the thorougffare clear for
as long period of time as posi-
Die. 1t is the intention to COM
plete the bridge as nearly as pos
sible before the grade work on
this side is started, keeping the
roadway open, and then blocking
1t Tor as short a time as possible.
This is the plan of the engineer,
and, the work is being done ac-
cordlngly. Some Of the work has
been held up owing to the delay
in material, but this is now at
hand and it is believed there will
be no further delay on this &C
