Engineers Begin Bridge Pier Tests On Poplar Street
Under supervision of J. Crockett, an Inspector, a crew cores on Poplar Street seeking solid bases for a proposed highway bridge across the west-end railroad yards. Sixteen test holes will be bored between Bluefield Avenue and the tracks north of the railroad to determine ground conditions before design. The bridge would span the tracks and Bluefield Avenue, clearing the rails by at least thirty feet. The project aims to straighten the federal highway from Bluefield to the city and improve access. Cherry Street is no longer the southern terminus.
