Dun I way (United Press Staff Correspondent) SALEM, .Ore., Sept. 26 In three months, the first or five massive bridges along the Oregon coast high way will be opened to traffic. A year from now tons of steel and concrete and a forest of timbers will have been completely fashioned into one of the notable bridge con struction projects In the west. Then, thousands of motorists will no longer have to wait for ferries on their Journey from ' the Golden Gate of California to the Columbia river of Oregon, The ' five Oregon Coast highway bridges are being built at a cost of 9S.60O.00O, and through an act of the legislature the spans will be toll-free. More than 50 per cent completed now, all the bridges will be finished earlier than originally planned. Construction of the bridges win complete what Is said to be one oi the most beautiful and spectacular highways in the world 406.3 miles of roads built at a cost of (23,500. 000. On a route of rugged mountain and marine scenery, the bridges have been designed to harmonize with their aurroundlngs. Huge arches, spans and piers at great elevations will make the bridges outstanding works of engineering. Engineer Wins Award C. B. McCullough, chref bridge engineer for the state highway de partment, was in charge of design ing the spans, working with R. H. Baldock, chief highway engineer, and a corps of draftsmen. McCullough rates the coast bridge Job as the most' important of his career. The- engineer won nation wide fame in 1933, when Ms . Dr. John 1 McLoughlln bridge over the Clackamas river near Oregon City was voted by the American Insti tute of Steel Construction the most beautiful bridge built in the United States that year at a cost of less than $250,000. The coast bridges will also be sub mitted by McCullough In competi tion with the work of engineers all ver the country. The bridges cross Yaqulna bay at Newport, Alsea bay at Waldport, Sluslaw river between Florence and Gtena'da, . Umpqua river between Gardiner and Reed sport, and Coos bay at North Bend. More than a mile long" and most expensive of the five bridges Is the Coos bay span. Its 1708-Ioot canti lever span 770 feet between piers will be the longest In the Pacific Northwest, and the bridge's sus pension lines will make it the most beautiful of all. The channel span will -be 150 feet above water. Cost ing $2,123,318, the bridge will be finished next May. It will have an over-all length of 6436 feet. Some Idea of their size may be obtained from the fact that it will take 110,850 cubic yards of con crete, 450,000 lineal feet of piling. 5100 tons of reinforcing steel, loo tons of machinery, 6400 tons of structural steel, 85,700 cubic yards of excavation. l'2,000,000 feet of lumber and the work of 1000 men to complete the bridges. Yaqulna Most Spectacular The Yaqulna bay bridge, 3260 feet long, costing 1,357.587.50, will be completed in September, 1636. It has the most spectacular setting of the five, spanning the extreme mouth of the bay. Swinging from a high bluff, the bridge will reach an elevation of 140 feet above the water' line, affording a magnificent view of the government Jetties and the ocean at Newport bar. The cen tral portion of the bridge contains two 350-foot steel arch spans with a channel span of 600 feet from pier to pier and 235 feet above low water. The rest of the bridge will be reinforced concrete arch and viaduct construction. The Alsea bay bridge, 3026 feet long, costing 9685,040, will be fin ished next March. Giving motorists a magnificent view of the ocean and the Alsea River valley, the bridge's central span will be 70 feet above water, with the approach also swinging from a high bluff. Shortest and cheapest of the bridges will be that over the Slus law river. Costing 9401,646 for Its 1650 feet, the bridge will be com pleted next February. Its feature will be an electrically operated bas cule span flanked by concrete arches and viaducts. 1 ; 4v-: - Noted Contractor Passes PORTLAND, Ore.. 'Oct. 5. (AP) James P.
