Engineer department officials point
out that much ~of the vibration now
felt is due to the existence of wood
flooring.
,Ehe feature of the repair work will
be the laying of an asphalt surface
on the bridge, which will make it
rigid. The more extensive portion of
the job will be the replacement of all
wooden joists and supports with steel
and the tying of all steel members
together.
