This is not an illogical picture to present in the
consideration OF railroads lot of people think that

BRIDGES ON IMPROVED ROADS
Few Structures Less Than 10 Feet Are
Now Being Constructed, Say
Engineers.

Few highway bridges with width
of roadway less than Is feet are now
being constructed on improved roads,
according to engineers of the bureau
of public roads of the United States
Department of Agriculture. In the
past some IL feet and good many Of
16-fOOt width have been constructed
in an effort to economic, but it has
proved shortsighted economy. Only
one line of traffic can pass over IL,
foot roadway, and 1G feet of width
will not accommodate two lines in
safety. Many of the states, such as
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio an0
Massachusetts, have found it advisable
in replacing old bridges on important
roads to make them wide enough to
accommodate three and four lines Of
traffic.
