WORKERS INTHE FIELD m Rapid Concrete Bridge Construc-tion The Editor of Municipal Engineekixg: Sir—The Union street bridge at Dan-ville, Va., is 1,060 feet long, 22-foot road-way. It contains about 160 tons of steel,round bars, and 3,000 cubic yards of con-crete. The foundations are on solid rockand all shallow, as river currents pre-vented any dirt from lodging. The design was furnished by Wilbur ahead, as forms had to stay in thirtydays. The old bridge was quite an advantagein the construction, and a dry summerwas another advantage. Work was car-ried on night and day. A Ransome %-yard mixer, two side dump cars and twomules included all the plant used. Stone was shipped twenty miles; sandwas taken from the river nearby; OldDominion cement used: steel was fur-nished by the Carnegie Steel Co.
