HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT HAS
ANNOUNCED PLANS FOR BIDS
Continued from flrst page)

Mr.. McWilliamS indicated that
with the projects now under con-
tract, some of which started last
year, but were not completed and
are carried over to this cOnStruc-
ton season. the Department will
have construction work in progress
in each of the three counties dur
ing the spring and summer months.
Concerning future plans Mr.. Nc
Williams indicated that other pro-
jects would be listed for cOnstruc-
ton as rapidly as conditions per-
nit, pointing out that the absence
of construction work during the
war years has permitted the pro-
gram to become rather large.
In addition to the appropriation
made by the Legislature there is
also measure now pending be-
fore that body that would permit
Il bond issue of two and halt
million dollars for highway con-
structiOn. Formulation of COM
plete construction program for the
next several years will be cOntin-
gent OH the approval of this mea-
sure.
Among the contracts awarded
this year is the one for placing the
new floor and repainting the SOutl
Market street bridge in Whining
ton, the contract for which was
awarded to the Mccormick Con
structiOn Company of Wilmington
Under the provisions of this con
tract, the traffic will be maintained
during the busy hours of the da.
and the bridge will only be closet
for periods after II p. H.. for tn
purpose of carrying on some o
the more important construction
work.
Mr.. McWilliams pointed out tha
this would be a different procedur
than was used for the repair O
the Third street bridge. in Will

the department feels that it is nee
essary that this entrance to vii

bridge between the hours of : F.;
