Portland, Ore., Jan. 10.—(<A. P.)
—Completion soon of the Columbia
river highway between Astoria and
Pendleton, Ore., is forecast by the
state highway commission which in a
statement reviewing the work says
the grading of this highway repre
sents what is probably the most dif
ficult and costly piece of highway
construction yet undertaken in Am
erica.
For many miles it was necessary
to construct the road bed upon the
rugged and almost perpendicular
wall of the Columbia river gorge, ne
cessitating that the highway be lit
erally carved out of- the solid rock.
At the close of the 1920 season
there was fully completed on the
Colombia river highway 178.7 miles
of pavement and 123.S miles of
broken stone and gravel surfacing.
All this pavement is 16 feet or more
in width, with an additional four
feet of broken stone shoulders, To
complete the highway there re-
mains to be done only four miles of
grading, 2.5 miles of broken stone
and gravel surfacing and 25.3 miles
of paving. Completion of the grad
ing within a few weeks is predicted.
