Although two other notable bridge installations have .been mude In this country during the past year. nowhere Nfclse has such an extensive trial of this new paving tnateriaL been made, nor has such an opportunity been afforded to demon strate fts qualities. We read: "Numerous rigid requirements had to be met In the floor-covering of thlf bridge, because of the character of it* construction and the uses to ^hich It was put, that it seemed nothing hut rubber could meet. That these re quirements have been fully met by this recent installation appears certain, and that time will Justify the choice Is firmly believed by those who sponsored It. "Handsomest, most Imposing and im portant of the several^ridges spanning ;the Chicago river Is that which con tinues Michigan fe&ilevnrd from the business heart of . the city north- j ward. One of the greatest difficulties that the city of Chicago has experJ-J enced with this bridge has been the large number of cars which have beeO wrecked on rainy .days. ' By actual count this bridge clears 58.000 to 60. 000 automobiles every 24 hours. Traf fic Is further complicated by the fact that busses turn about at one end of the bridge. When It Is necessary to stop other traffic on the bridge to permit busses to turn, it becomes almost im possible to control the cars, which skid badly on rainy days, running -Into the cars ahead and' often causing much damage. "Further trouble was also caused by the fact that this Is a double deck bridge, with one driveway above another. When It rained, the water, oil and dirt on the upper driveway very naturally flowed down through the wood planking formerly tised upon the trurtrt '&nd cars on the lower level: ? "Rubber paving has been laid across one entire span of the bridge, both of the sidewalk and of the roadway. This meuns t strip of rubber sidewalk 150 feet long and 12 feet wide, or 1,800 square feet, and also a strip of rubber roadway 150 feet long and 30 feet wide, of 4,500 square feet maklag a total of 6,300 squaft feet of ? bber surface. '?The new pavfcig has eliminated both of the serious troubles enroua tered In the use of tills bridge: Being of corrugated rubber, the pa glue bricks prevent skidding. Thew the use of rubber paving enabled a wflterpfedf membrane to be put between the lower six-Inch flooring and the upper plank* ing that absolutely eliminates all leak age from the upper down to the lower roadway. "Added to these desired characteris tics will be the wonderful wearing qualities of rubber paving, which have been demonstrated In England, and ^ Is hoped that years of test on bridge work In this country will show that It is not subject to the expansion and contraction which cause so much trou ble with wooden blocks." '? Remove Highway Daggers by Building Sffe Roads Engineers of the buran of public* roads of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, who have made* a close study of the causes of high- i way accidents In order that federal aid roads may be built ns safely us possible, have listed the following causes of highway acdcfentsr' Blind curves and road Intersections; sharp curves on embankments; un protected embankments; narrow bridges; shafp convex vertical curves; slippery road surfaces; steep grades; narrow road surfaces; low or rough shoulders; steep crowns; sharp curves at bridge and underpass approaclies; grade crossings; unsuperelevated curves. This list takes into account' only the dangers which the highway engineer should eliminate, by removing the cause If possible, and If 'this cannot be done, by erecting proper warning signs. A complete solution of the problem can be effected onlyjby building safe roads and educating drivers to use them in a scfe way, *, 'illN Coast to Coast Trip > It was not very many years ago when a trip from coast to coast was a feat to be accomplished by the profes sional road driver only.
