QaaHly, Btyta, Service
ready for traffic by February. How
ever It is doubted that the bridge
will be actuklly put Into use at that
time because there is yet consider
able work to be done at the north
approach. The northern approach
will be ready when the construction
of a culvert near Mill street and the
fill between Trade and Mill streets
Is completed. The southern approach
needs grading but this work can
not be dons vntil: the Holdener
company moves its equipment, and
office building from the street, it
was pointed out by Mr. Packard.
Following the pouring Thursday
and Friday of the beams and gird
ers in the main section, reinforced
steel will be placed for the pouring
of the roadway deck. This part of
the construction will practically
complete the main section of the
bridge.
This week the work of moving the
main telephone toll line, which
runs from Seattle to San Franelseo
and Inddently beside the location
of the Liberty street bridge, i
completed by telephone linesmen. It
was necessary to remove the big
trunk line some 40 feet east of the
bridge site In order to facilitate
construction operations. Conduits
for the use of the phone lines are
being Installed In the bridge and
the lines will be again transferred
when the bridge is completed.
Several thousand wires are run
ning through the cables of the line
and In one cable alone there were
1600 wires that had to be cut, it was
said.
About 45 men. Including carpen
ters and laborers, are being em
ployed dally at the construction
site. Work will be continued daily
unless heavy storms make It lm
possible, said Mr. Packard.
