THREE SURVEYS MADE DUR
ING THE PAST SEASON IN
THIS DISTRICT
The completion of the Hope
Sunrise highway last month was
the last connecting link, or section
of the Moose Pass Highway project
which has been under construction
for years past by the Bureau of
Public Roads.
Forty-five miles of six-foot stan
dard B. P. R. highway is fully com
plete from the Alaska Railroad
at Mile 29 down to Hope; however,
there are a few slightly danger
ous curves on which work will be
carried forward next year, as well
as the rebuilding or raising of a
few bridges.

quarters preparatory to departing
tomorow for the Juneau office,
reports that regular maintenance
work on t*he Kenai Lake, Moose
Pass, Grow Creek, Palmer Creek,
and the Kenai River highways,
is concluded for this year. It is
estimated an average of 40 men
were on the payroll during the
season an an approximate sum
$100,000 expended by the depart
ment.
All maintenance projects are
now closed with the exception of
the regular snow plowing which
will be continued this winter on
the Seward-Kenai Lake highway.
THE 40 FOOT TRUSS
bridge at the railroad crossing at
Mile 3, 1-2 is being raised and
“We are adding a 19 foot trestle
to it,” Mr. Ingram said. A 19 foot
trestle -will also be put in at this
time; material is now at hand for
this improvement which will span
that section' of the embankment
washed away last summer during
the flood season.
THE ROAD WILL BE
closed at this point for almost a j
week, Mr. Ingram stated, The
truss will be put in just as fast as j

the crew can do the job, he con
tinued for he realizes it is some
what of a handicap to have any
portion of the much traveled high
way closed down for any length of
time. A pile-driver is now being
erected to expedite the work.
Mr. Ingram is under the im
pression that the bridges on the
radio road will either be recon
structed next year or done away
with then entirely and in their
stead run culverts thru fills.
NEXT YEAR IT IS POSSIBLE
that work will go forward on the
Crow creek highway and over on
Afognak Island where a five-mile
stretch may be laid out from the
old cannery site up to the govern -
ment fish hatchery located on the
shores of Lake Afognak. The need
of a road there is an urgent one
as even the tractor, which has
been used to pull wagon loads of
supplies to the hatchery from the
beach, has difficulty in getting in.
Mr. Ingram hopes the Quartz
Creek road will be programed next
season; this will be 12 miles.
DRY ROT CAUSED TIIE
Bureau to close down the Kenai
river bridge which also is known
as Schooner Bend and also as the
Russian River bridge- Repairing
of this bridge was begun last sum
mer until it was accidently dis
covered the apparantly sound
super structure was weakened
throughout by dry-rot; following
completion of tests to verify this
condition cessation of work on
;he project was ordered.
The Bureau has posted signs on
his bridge warning the public
;he structure is unsafe and that
anyone going over it do so at their
own risk. At one end of the bridge
a pil.-driver effectively blocks pas
sage of vehicles but dog teams and
mushers may cross if they desire.
It is Mr. Ingram’s belief that this
winter’s snows will, in all likely
hood, break the bridge down.
While the crew was in that dis
trict a survey for another bridge
site was made about 500 feet be
low the present crossing.
The Linx Creek section of the
Johnson Pass highway of eight
miles has been completed; no at
tempt was made by the B. P. R.
to standarize this section to the
Bureau’s specification but even so
it is passable for trucks.
THREE SURVEYS WERE
were made during the season as
follows: The Crow Creek exten
sion of approximately two miles
in length; the Kenai River high
way; the Quartz Creek location of
approximately five and one-half
miles, and the Agofnak survey.
As far as Mr. Ingram knows he
fully expect?; to be reassigned to
this area again next year. Following
his Juneau work this winter he
plans to visit in the States for a
short time before returning North.
Mrs. Ingram departed for the
South about about six weeks ago.
