Harris Street Underpass – 1938
Pour Concrete At Harris Street Underpass Today
Major Excavation Work Is Nearly Complete at Local Subway.
Flow of concrete for the main slab of the Harris street underpass of the Northern Pacific under the freight station will be under headway Wednesday, pipes having been placed by the contractors.
Three hundred cubic yards of concrete will be poured during the next few days on this work, with some concrete footing also being placed.
Major excavation work is completed, though the shovels will be active for another week, digging dirt, particularly under the Pacific Fruit warehouse.
The first four tracks of the Northern Pacific on the south side of the yards are now on a permanent basis. Track No. 6 is on a temporary wooden bridge, and all tracks north are now taken out at the subway excavations.
