Overhead Bridge Being Built.
The grade crossing at Bcckley
will soon be a matter of history as
the new overhead bridge at this
dangerous point is now under con-
struction. For more than a year
work has been going on and thou
sands of carloads of gravel have
been used in building new road
bed which will do away with
the present curved highway in the
center of which is the Berlin
branch railroad. More than so ac-
cidents have occurred at this cross
ing, a number having resulted
fatally.
Huge steel girdcds many weighing
100 tons or more are now at the
East Berlin yards ready to be swung
into place as soon as the concrete
supports for the new overhead
bridge have hardened and settled.
A bridge over one of the small
streams has already been construct
ed. The approaches have been built
but the concrete for the highway
has not yet been poured. With the
opening of the new stretch Of road
one Of the most dangerous spots IN
the entire Boston-New York Post
road will have been done away with.
