ONTARIO, Shed Moved ,on-13ayfield Fair Grounds For Cattle THURSDAY, JULY L 1954 185,000 Bridge At "Manchester" Work is progressing on con- struction of the new • $185,000 bridge spanning the Maitland Riv- er near Auburn. Tbe bridge will replace the old one built over 40 years ago. This is a big year for Auburn in many ways. At the end of this month the villagers are celebrat- ing the 100th year since Auburn, or "Manchester" as it was,known then, was founded, (See Page 2 for the story). Besides the new bridge, work in- cludes re-routing of the road to by-pass the business section and come out at the easterly limits of the village. , The bridge Will have two abut- ments and three piers. . Hopes are that the bridge will be open by Christmas, It will be dedicated to the late T. R. Pat- terson, county engineer. The $185,000 project will make the biggest re -arrangement of the Auburn landscape that has occur- red since the -village was first founded. The sharp and dangeroUS right-angle turn at the west end. of the Auburn main street is to be eliminated; and the big bridge is to run in line with the main street. The old bridge which is being replaced by the new project, crosses the Maitland south of the township boundary road which serves as the principal street in Auburn. Access from Auburn to the bridge has been by a route which combined a steep little hill with.a set of zigzag curves. To be used as the cattle barn at the Bayfield Fall Fair this year, this large building is being moved into a alew location "by Volunteering members of the Fair board, and persons interested in promoting the Fair. They are doing the job early so -that the grounds might be clear and tidy for the Bayfield Lions Frolic Which will be held this summer.
