AN OFFICE FOR BRIDGE WORK., Signs. That Work For ‘New Bridge Over Thames Is Soon to Begin. After several years of investigation, planning and_preliminary work, the| great steel and concrete bridge to be constructed by the New Haven road across the Thamés'to replace the pres- ent structure 1is -about to be com- menced. - . It was announced on Wed- nesday on excellent authority that this gigantic epgineering task, involving an estimated expenditure of $3,000,- 000 will he under way before exterme cold weather.. 2 Western contractors, who are at present engaged in building a massive bridge spanning one _of the largest rivers in the country, were at New London _this ‘week estimating the cost of bridging the Thames and examining the various phases of the work. A field office for the use of the engineers en- gaged in supervising the construction of the bridge is now. in process .of erection north of the plant of the Lenox Oil Co. >The building. which is of wood; 20 by 40 feet, steam heated and electric lighted, is the first tang- iblé evidence that the ‘mammoth en- tlerprise is about to be gotten <mder way. A cording to those familiar with the detgils of the new structre, its build~ in€ will be an operation of much in- terest to the engineering. world. It will have concrete substructure with eel superstructure of three 330 feet riveted trusé spans, one 185 feet fixed span and one 184 feet bascule span. The work of putting. the-big plers in place will, it is said. be most spec- tacular. The depth to which they will be sunk is understood to be from 145 to 180 feet. As it is impossible to work by the. useé of compressed air under water at a depth greater than 110 feet, it is assumed that caissons with the blue sky overhead,will .have to be constructed ‘to the depth to which the plers descend.

The west side of Water street above Dpuglass in New London, was cleared of ‘its buildings and other property above Hallam street had to be taken. Finding a solid foundation for the piers.proved a big undertaking. The depth eventually used was 103.138 and 139. feet respectively. The hardest- _preposition was the central pier, which not only had to support the trains but also that of the mas sof metal in the big draw. When the pier was completed it was piled high with pig iron of a greater weight than any strain the bridge was expect- ed to bear. The iron was Jeft there for an extended period and as .the pier showed no signs of settling it was accepted as being solid enough to satisfy all demands. The structure will still -be suitable for many years for ordinary highway traffic. At the company’s office in New Ha- ven on Wednesday it was said that the precise date .of starting -the bridge could not be stated..
