Van Tyne Creek Bridge
This is a 60-foot reinforced concrete viaduct on the Pacific Highway near Dole, north of Myrtle Creek. It was constructed by the Grants Pass Construction Company, under their grading contract for the section between Myrtle Creek and Dillard. The total cost of the structure was $3,575.70.
Half Viaducts North of Myrtle Creek
These structures, two in number, were constructed within a few hundred feet of each other on the Pacific Highway between Myrtle Creek and Dillard and span crevices in the face of a rock bluff. They are of reinforced concrete construction of the through girder type and of spans of 45 feet and 58 feet respectively. The 45 foot structure cost complete $2,415.28, and the 58 foot structure cost $2,648.54. Both were built by the Grants Pass Construction Company under their contract for grading between Myrtle Creek and Dillard.
Myrtle Creek Bridge
The bridge over the Umpqua River at Myrtle Creek being inadequate for modern traffic a survey has been made for a new structure. As contemplated, the new bridge will eliminate a grade crossing that now exists at one end of the present bridge.
Canyonville-Galesville Forest Road Project
Under a co-operative agreement between Douglas County, the State and the Federal Government, a 9.7 mile section of the Pacific Highway between Canyonville and Galesville is being constructed. This project will eliminate the heavy grades and dangerous curves through what has been erroneously called Cow Creek Canyon. This section has heretofore been one of the very worst on the entire highway, and its improvement is of great importance.
The work is under contract to John Hampshire & Co. of Grants Pass. The supervision of the work is in the hands of the Federal Office of Public Roads. It is estimated that the project complete will cost $211,000.00, of which the County will pay $23,000.00, the State $94,000.00 and the Federal Government $94,000.00.
