BIC BRIDGE IS
ACCEPTED.FAC
Last Voucher to Be in Soon
IN. P. Expected to Build
Underpass.

Bismarck. N. D., Sept. 20.-The new
Avehicular bridge across the Missouri
: river, formally dedicated Monday, has
been approved by engineers Of the
United States> after inspection and
has been formally accepted by the
state, releasing the Foundation COM
pasay from any further responsibility
On the bridge except as to guarantees,
w. H. Robinson. state engineer, said
today. The highway commission Is
70 ready t.. submit the final vouch-
er on the bridge expense, totalins
about $4,000, Mr.. Robinson said.
While the exact cost can MOI yet be
L~scertatned because Of interest charg-
ss still accruing, 1T is probable the
cost will be somewhat less than pre-
Viously estimated, the state engineer
Aid.
Mr.. Robinson said that engineer for
the Northern Pacific railroad had
. verbally agreed on a plan for build
, aAtg an underpess on the road between
the bridge and Mandan, and that he
was informed that plans We're now be-
ing prepared by the railroad company,
The proposed underpass will entail
a great deal Of work. as the road will
pass under the. main Iine and the
Mandan north and south branches of

ton q considerable distance from the
polntfof present crossing of5athe main
line track. All three tracks will have
to be raised IL feet to make possible
an underpass with practically no de-
preston. E
Other Problems Accrue.
t5d1ne of the problems considered,
Mr.. Robinson said, was whether the
raising Of the tracks at the junction
would necessitate raising the tracks
on a low stretch between the road
crossing and the bridge. This low
stretch is looked upon by the rail
road engineers as a waterway in time
! OF flood Of the Missouri river he~said,
{ and the engineers feared that If Il
were necessary to raise the track on
this stretch such "a water pressure
would be created in time of food that
the Northern Pacific bridge would be
washed out. This objection has been
mat in the general plans sketched, he
said. ..
IT is probable THAI 1so work on the
un%derpass will be done\ this year. The
estimated COSTS SIS, 900. Two young
men were killed a few weeks 6 by
collision of ali automobile and a
Northern Pacific train at the main
line crossing west Of the river.
