As soon as the new highway
bridge at Winchester la completed
and la opened to traffic, the present
steel bridge will be removed to Elk
ton, according to an announcement
made today by the county court. '
The bridge will be used to span the
river directly at Elkton, connecting
up with the road leading to Kellogg
and opening the 'route from Rose
burg to Elkton by way of Dodga
Canyon and over the Sutherlln and
Garden Valley routes.
The Wlncheater bridge Is one or
the heaviest' bridges In the county
and has served to carry the highway
traffic for a number or years. It is
too light, however, for the present
volume of trafflo over the highway
and la being replaced by the seven
span, arched type, concrete bridge
hlch Is being built by the state
and which will be ready for travel
some time during the summer, or
fall.
The old bridge la of just the right
length to span the river at Elkton
and engineers have made plana for
the construction of plera and the re
location of the bridge so that tho
work' can be done easily and with
only a small expense. The residents
of Elkton have agreed to transport
the bridge to Its new location and
will donate work towards Its erec
tion. The opening of this road will
gle two new routes from Roseburg
to Elkton and upon the completion
of the Reedsport road will give
Roseburg several direct outlets to
the coast. The new road by way of
Mehl Creek and Hedden Creek, will
contain no grades of more than 4
per cent while over the old road
by way of Kesterson hill and Smith
Ferry there are several very steep
grades which It was found made
that route impractical.
Through the Mehl and Hedden
Creek districts the residents donated
right of way for roads, rebuilt their
fences, donated work ana are vot
ing a ten mill tax to aid In the con
struction of the road. This route
is known as the old Military road
and is one of the oldest roads In
the entire county.
