UNSTABLE SOIL CONDITIONS The contractor early experienced difficulty in the bridge construction. Upon excavating for foundations, unexpected unstable conditions were encountered, which required the lowering of footings from 4 to 8 feet. Considerable delay was caused liv this unlocked for condition. Forms for bridge work were largely constructed of 3-ply ply- wood, backed by 1 by 6-inch and 2 by 4-inch struts and wales. The better-than-average form work aided in obtaining a very good finish on the structLtres. Bearing vahies of soils encountered in the cuts were generally so lo~v that it vas necessary to place better material as a sub-base for the pavement.
