New Steel Bridge
Will Replace Old
Wood Structure
ACROSS LITTLE CHICKIES CREEK
AT SOUTHEASTERN BORO
LIMITS—SAME WILL BE RELO-
CATED.
The old wooden bridge across the
Little Chickies Creek at the south-
eastern boro limits recently carried
away by the flood, will be replaced
by a modern steel structure. This
will be done just as quickly as pos-
sible.
Last Thursday Engineer H. W.
Crawford, Bridge Commissioner for
Lancaster County, met State High-
way engineers on the above scene
and here's the result of the meeting.
While this bridge is on a State
Highway, it is owned by the county
and must be rebuilt by the county.
The County Commissioners however
agreed with the State
gineers, to relocate the new bridge
in order to eliminate the dangerous
curve at the bridge entrance on the
south bank of the creek.
On Saturday the location and en-
tire surroundings were surveyed.
From this survey the plans are be-
ing made and as soon as completed,
which will probably be within a
week, the County Commissioners
will advertise for bids. This adver-
tising according to law, will require
twenty-one days.
Upon receipt of the bids, the con-
tract will be awarded and work on
same must begin immediately.
The County Commissioners are
making every effort to relieve the
residents and all others who so fre-
quently use this bridge, of the in-
convenience of traveling several mi-
les extra in getting to town.
The Iron Bridge
The Iron Bridge across the same
creek, several miles down stream
which was also washed away, is
rapidly being replaced and will be
open to traffic in the very near fu-
ture.
