NIZINA BRIDGE
BE COMPLETED
THIS SPRING
(Cordova Times)
Colonel James G. Steese, president
of the Alaska Road Commission, who
recently returned to Juneau from the
States, where he secured increased
appropriations, passed through here
on his way to Anchorage.
Colonel Steese reports that the new
bridge over the Nizina river will be
open for travel this spring. The trestle
has been driven, the false work com
pleted and lower chords framed. All
the bridge material is now on the
ground and the work of completing
the structure will be rushed.
The road from McCarthy to the
bridge, a distance of ten miles, will be
put in condition this summer for mo
tor traffic. An estimate will also be
made of the work necessary on a road
from the bridge to Dan Creek, a nine
mile stretch in order that it can be
constructed next year.
Work is well under way on the
bridge across the upper Tonsina river,
and the Richardson highway, Colonel
Steese said. Two 1,000 feet trestles
are being built and also material
freighted to the lower Tonsina to put
in an additional 100-foot trestle to re
place the long trestle approach.
