How The Tracks Will Be Raised

HOW THE TRACKS WILL BE RAISED
-
Without Interrupting Traffic On the Ann Arbor
-
MATERIAL ON HAND
-
For the Temporary Bridges – The Work Will Be Pushed When Spring Opens
-
The Ann Arbor Railroad has a large amount of material now on the ground for the grade separation.

The grade will be raised without interrupting traffic on the road. The roadbed will be raised little by little and the dirt filled in beneath. The streets over which the road passes will be filled with dirt even. Then when the track is up to grade piles will be driven and a temporary bridge built. The dirt will be taken out from the street and the work of building masonry walls for the permanent bridges will be done.

A large number of men have been at work on the preliminary work of grade separation and everything is apparently in readiness for a vigorous campaign as soon as the season opens.
