NOME RIVER BRIDGE WORK
NEARING COMPLETION
, The extensive repair work in-iugu
rated by the Alaska Bond Commission
on the Nome Itiver bridge near Fort
Davis is nearing completion under the
direction of Snpt. Chas. Jones and
will probably be finished about Sep
tember 1. The work has been in pro
gress since shortly after the spi'ng
breakup ami a large amount of labor
has been accomplished. The repairs
were necessitated by n change in the
river channel which undermined one
end or the big span, threatening the
structure’s collapse. The repair work
has consisted primarily of building up
a heavy bulwark of earth filled sacks
around the timber supports to prevent
further cutting away and subsequent,
installation of a cement facing to pro
tect this false foundation. The lat
ter work is being done in an ingenious
manney by sinking sacks filled with
a sand and cement mixture in such
manner that they will ultimately form
a sloping wall of practically solid con
crete around the bridge abutments.
A device said to have been suggested
by Engineer E. L. Carpenter Is being '
used with great success in placing the
sacks in position in varying depths of
water up to 18 feet. About 150 sacks
of the cement mixture are being placed
in position daily and close to' 3,500
sacks have been used up to the pres
ent. Six men are employed at he Job
with Thomas (lafflTney as foreman.
