Powerful machines moving mountains of earth, high bridges with
no way now to cross thenthese are the outstanding symbols of
progress on the new East Salem highway bypass.
Work is on schedule, meaning it will be aboat two years before
the freeway will carry- the first of the 20 per cent of north-south
traffic it is expected to divert from Salem. (Pictures on page one.)

Contracts have been awarded
for just over one-third of the
$2,013,700 project, according to R.
H. , Baldock, state highway en
gineer. Ihe rest, including paving
and landscaping, will be con
tracted early in 1953.
Bridges Finished I
Already largely finished are
overpasses crossing Silverton
Road, Sunnyview Avenue, Garden
Road. Silverton branch of the SP
Railroad and a non-existent sec
tion of Turner Road, along with
an underpass at D Street. These
'bridges stand high in the air,
without eroad access until large
fills are made.
In general this work has dis
turbed traffic only slightly. D
Street has been blocked, but is
due to receive traffic in another
month: Sunnyview is closed for a
few weeks for grading operations;
Center Street has just been given
a short detour adjacent to vie site
of its "bridge.' Several short resi
dential streets - were dead-ended
by the new. highway.
Right now, operations along the
10-mile route, one-half mile east
of the city, include high-powered
moving of earth from underpasses
and ether points to areas to be
raised, diverting the waters of
Mill Creek to ; allow building

more grade separation structures,

Total excavation in the project
Is some 584.000 cubic yards.
They and other equipment are
building up a roadbed capable of
handling four lanes of traffic.
After grading will come a 16-inch
layer of gravel, then paving 24
feet wide to carry two lanes of
traffic. When the volume of cars
and trucks dictates, two more
lanes of paving will be added.

This will require new overpasses
to allow such expansion. '
Where Mill Creek flowed south
east of the airport, workmen are
placing piers for a new bridge.
North of there, near - Paradise
Island resort, ' contractors . will
have a borrow pit to secure the
gravel for the roadbed. In the pit
area, a crook will be removed
from the creek to keep it along
the bypass south side, changing
the stream's course for 3,500 feet.
The pit itself will be about 1,000
feet long beside the creek, with
toe possibility of development as
a lake.

proposed new North S ant lam

the bypass is completed, according
to present plans.

five firms, in contracts totaling

which provides 60 per cent of
cost for eligible portions of the
work; $315,000 from the state
highway bond issue, and $480,000
from current highway revenues.
The improvement is to relieve
Salem streets of through truck
traffic and a part of the through
passenger cars, as part of the
over-all highway development
here. In addition it will go along
some of Salem's newest .residen
tial areas and will open a new
vista of the Valley especially
near Boone Road, where a broad
view will be offered eastward to
the State Tuberculosis Hospital
and Cottage Farm.
It also will require thinking
twice to use the bypass, for cars
can enter and leave it only at its
two Junctures with the present
highway, Hayesville and Battle
Creek, and at Garden Road (Mar
ket Street) and the North Santiam
Highway.
