Br Willis 8. 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
