Concern Felt Over Safety of Damaged Silverton Bridge
Big Log Trucks
Are Detoured
Pending Check
Sllverton Elitin McCleary, city
manaeer and former superintendent
of the Silverton water commission,
announced Thursday that concern
waa being felt for the safety of the
Main street bridge which crosses
Silver creek in the down-town sec
tion, after the surprise collapse of
the James avenue bridge Tuesday
afternoon.
Test figures have been before the
highway officials for some time,
stated McCleary, but no returns
have been made. There have never
been load limits posted at James
avenue crossing and as a conse
quence any load capacity made the
bridge. It was also stated that the
last truck that passed over tne col
lapsed bridge waa of 54,000 pounds
capacity, the limit, and some con
cern was evidenced as to the time
when the capacity limit would be
raised to 64,000 pounds.
McCleary said that he would
route the heavy logging trucks from
the Sllverton Hills section, that
have been crossing the Main street
bridge enroute to Salem, and turn
them by the Pudding River route
as he felt the present practice was
unsafe.
Two plans have been suggested
for the re-openlng of James ave
nue bridge. One Is to temporarily
repair the structure for pedestrian
and light vehicle crossings with a
strict load capacity limit, and the
other is to rebuild the bridge of
concrete at a cost of several thou
sand dollars and a term of several
months. However no action will be
taken until an okay from the high.
way department is secured on the
advent to Silverton of R. H. Baia
ock. state highway engineer.
One local .Industry of national
and foreign trade Inclusion affect
ed by the James avenue bridge con
dition, Is the Cooley Commercial
iris gardens that are located in
the section cut off from the com
munities north and west of the
creek.

highway bridge engineers, and
Floyd A. Query and W. W. StUfler
of the highway maintenance de
' partment were in Silverton, Wed
' nesday, looking over the possibil
ities of repairs.
