BIDSASKEDFOR
EATONTON ROAD
Allied ERfineers line Pisysiei
Work to Coatncton. New
Bridge at Little River
Proposed changes in the Eatonton-
Milledgeville highway and other
roads in this section were issued to
select list of contractors this week
by the Allied Engineers, Mr. C. D.
Riddle, superintendent, announced
this week.
Bids will be received on the work
about the fifteenth of this month
and a contract awarded. The work
will begin immediately and completed
during the early fall.
The proposed plans require a new
bsidge at Little Rivfer. The new
bridge will be sixty feet.high, twenty
feet higher than the present bridge.
New approaches will be erected on
either side of the bridge. The road
bed wil Ibe changed for about a quar
ter of a mile, it is understood.
The change in the highway has be
come necessary by the erection of the
dam at Furman shoals by the Geor
gia Power Company. The back water
and lake would inundate the bridge
at Little River and a portion of the
road, thus the new bridge will be
erected and the road bed changed,
