Substantial Steel Structure Connecting Street With Chacon Bridge
The Texas Mexican Railway Co is constructing a steel viaduct at the Aldama street and Meadow avenue intersection to connect Market street with the Chacon bridge. The 400 to 500 foot span will rise above the cut, with concrete pillars, at an estimated cost of about $15,000. Traffic patterns will adjust to let trains pass under the bridge while other traffic crosses above. No accidents have occurred in the hazardous cut, but the structure is meant to avert a potential disaster. Construction, planned for two years in planning, began after material was secured.
