(Taos News Photo) Bridge Over Rio Grande Gorge Awaits Arrival Of Steel Girders By JOE FULTON Taos News Staff Writer Steel work on the $2,158,000 Rio Grande Gorge bridge north of Taos is expected to begin the middle of August when the first shipment of beams and girders arrives from the Gary, Indiana plant of American Bridge Company. Peter H. Bray, state highway department project engineer, said that concrete work on the two piers, pedestals, and abutments was completed the middle of June. At present only five men are employed grinding bearing surfaces on the concrete and backfilling pier bases.

The east and west road approaches to the bridge are also complete. The steel shipments are expected to arrive by rail in either Alamosa or Antonito, Colorado and then trucked to both sides of the Rio Grande gorge at bridge site. The work of erecting the steel will be done by out-of-state specialists employed by the American Bridge with four to six mrrths required for completion, depending on weather conditions. Following this work, a lightweight concrete deck will be poured. Bray, project officer since March 21, explained that 485 working days have been allotted for the entire job.

To date, only 161 days have been used. Bad weather days are not counted. Even though the first steel shipments have been delayed two months, this does not mean that the project is behind schedule, Bray explained.
