Chicago Heights contractors began the work of removing the Washington street bridge Saturday, afternoon, having gotten the timbers on the ground during the day. On account of the cross-girders hanging so low the bridge will have to be raised some five feet above its foundations before it can be put in shape to rtin out of the way of the dredge. we go to press it is raised to/position where the timbers will be placed under It, and under these will be placed rollers, and under the rollers will be built a track on a false work, then a capstan wHI be used to pult the bridge back into the street on the east side of the river. This process will be reversed when it is replaced. While there is a whole lot of work about this, the contractors seem well prepared for the job and will make very good money out of it.
