BRIDGE ON SHORT
LINE IS STARTED
Taylor-Upson Structure
to Be Ready Before
Jan. 1.
Information from Butler reaching
Americus today is to the effect that
work has commenced on construction
of the Taylor-Upson county bridge
over the Flint river at the Holems
Ferry site, and that the work is al
ready well under way. This bridge is
located upon the Americus-Ellaville-
Butler-Atlanta highway, and its com
pletion will mark the closing of the
last gap in this important road. A
large force is now engaged in build
ing the two fills which will form the
approachs to the new bridge, and as
soon as* this work is finished actual
work upon the bridge itself will be
commenced.
The contract for the construction
of the bridge has been let to a Bir
mingham concern by the federal au
thorities, the bridge being a federal
aid project. The contract provides
that the bridge must be completed
by January 1, 1921, but indications
now are that the structure will be
finished and opened for traffic long
before that time.
The erection of ti.is bridge has
been projected for several years, but
owing to certain local conditions it
was impossible to raise sufficient
funds to pay for it either through
taxation or a bond issue, and several |
months ago a delegation of Taylor i
and Upson county business men i
headed by Walter E. Steed, of Butler. j
visited the points between here and,
Butler, soliciting subscriptions to the 1
found to pay for part of the bridge
Americus and Ellaville business men
subscribed to this fund, and partly
through their efforts, its erection was:
made possible.
With the completion of the bridge j
the new route from Americus to At-i
lanta will be open for use at all sea-:
sons, providing a shorter and more,
direct road for traffic between the
two cities and this entire section.
