York County's N The accompanying picture is one of the first made of the new concrete and steel bridge across the Catawba river about one and a half miles southwest of Fort Mill and five and a half miles northwest of Rock Hill. The bridge was recently opened for traffic. The erection of the structure was authorized by an act of the general assembly of I 1917, passed at the instance of the York county delegation, and was to cost about $42,000. The contract called for completion of the bridge by October, 1917, but unforseen difficulties arose in securing labor and material, due to war conditions, and its completion was delated fcr several months. The bridge with approaches, is approximately 1000 feet long. It is 16 feet wide and the floor i c? fnnf oKa*?a rv> ao 4 - a -u< iv ti <?uu> t mean i?>w water mark. The width of the bridge permits of vehicles going in opposite directions to pass upon it.

The road from Rock i Hill to the bridge will be even I better than Fort Mill road, for it is being built of concrete, while the Fort Mill road is of sand and ^ clay. The bridge takes the place of the county bridge swept away by the disastrous storm of July, 1916, but is about three miles below the site of the old bridge. ' The location of the new bridge 1 reduces the distance between Fort Mill and Rock Hill from 13 to seven miles, and the roads are incomparably better. The two towns are now easily within 20 minutes of each other bv motor. Even before the completion of the concrete road between Rock Hill and the bridge, motorists between Columbia and Charlotte are finding this route 1 more attractive than the route through Kershaw and Lancaster counties, as tne roads are generally as good and the distance is shorter between the two cities by 16 miles or more.
