Union avenue over Sullivan's gulch
wa closed to all traffic this morning
and the Bowie Iron A Steel company
has begun tearing out the old wooden
bridge that has done duty over the gulch
for the past 10 years, preparatory to
putting in a modern steel and concrete
viaduct The new bridge will cost about
186,000 and will require three or four
months In building.
The Portland Railway company has
prepared for this emergency by putting
In a short track along Hassalo street
connecting Union and Grand avenues,
and extending the line along Grand
avenue to the southern end of the new
steel bridge that spans the gulch where
connection Is made with the Grand
avenue line.
All Union avenue cars, comprising the
Vancouver, Woodlawn, Alberta, Broad
way and Russell-Shaver cars, will leave
Union avenue at Hassalo street and
come into the city along Grand ave
nue and over the Burnslde bridge. Leav
ing the west side these cars will go
out over the steel bridge and on the
Holladay avenue line to Union eve
nue. The inconvenience to the public
as a result of this arrangement will Be
comparatively small; all the Union ave
nue territory, eixoepi ire snort aiaianoe
from Holladay avenue' to East Burn-
aide street being as well served as
under the old arrangement
The old Union avenue bridge has
been thought bv many to be unsafe to
the past year or two, and the demand
for a new structure there has been
very general. That portion of the
bridge used by the railway company
was braced and strengthened several
years ago, but the part used by the
general publio was known to be more
or less shaky.
The new structure Is being construct
ed under a contract let by the city
and will be paid for by assessments
against the property benefited by the
Improvement About 26 per cent of the
cost of construction will be met by the
Portland Kauwav company.
This is the second modern viaduct
to span Sullivan's gulch snd will be
followed by another structure of rein
forced concrete at East Twenty-eighth
street The contract for this brides
nas already oeen let ana tne contractor
is under a tona to romniete it this
summer. The East Twenty-eighth street
district Is rapidly filling up with new
nomes. rendering tne necesaltv nf
bridge over the gulch there as pressing
as iiui at euner union or Grand ave
nues.
