It will take most probably about three months to finish the timber work and then remains the approaches —a considerable undertaking.

This will be a considerable cutting and the spoil is to be taken across the erected bridge to make the south approach which is a very considerable filling. The earthwork will take some weeks, so that it will he well into the new year before the bridge is available for traffic.
