Bridge Work Completed on
Highways No. So
and No. So.

Elimination of two detours and
changing one to provide better
road surface to accommodate all
traffic loads, marked chief changes
in the state highway commissions
traffic bulletin issued today.
The detour change is on U. S..
Road "a around paving between
Wolcott and Reynolds. The old de-
tour was narrow and had several
weak bridges making it advisable
that heavy through traffic avoid it..
The new detour route which is the
same mileage, is partly over state
roads and a good county gravel
highway, John j. Brown, department
director, said.
The bulletin shows completion OF
bridge on Road SO near Rockville,
and repair of a bridge on Road SO
south of Brazil
