When state officials arrive here this weekend to open bids on the big project, they will find that a lot of fill tures, probably will bring the project total to about $21,000,000. Work on pumping fill by the Atlantic Dredging and Construction Company and construction of two bridges by the Henry of Rattlesnake, was let on contracts totaling about $1,250,000 last October.

For more than 20 years there has beeen much talk and planning on the bridge to connect the two counties. At one time plans called for a tunnel under the bay but the idea was discarded in favor of the over-water route. 7 Years of Planning The last war added impact to the movement for the connecting link and preliminary planning on the project was started about seven years ago. has been pumped in on the Pinellas KITE movement and interfere with intricate and accurate surveys. The towers consist of steel work surrounded by wooden platforms and are 20 feet high.

The survey instruments are placed on the steel structure which remains rigid while engineers walk about on the wooden platform. Five such towers are located in deep water and three on shoals. From these towers the engineers establish base lines for triangulation to pin point the route and bridge pier construction. Posts Mark Route Anyone going over the area by boat sees not only the towers, but numerous wooden and metal posts driven down in the bay bottom over a wide area. They form part of the complicated pattern; which is more difficult to lay out on water than on land.

Quite often one can see the Parsons, Brinckerhoff, Hall and Mac-donald engineers wading in waist and shoulder deep water with a survey rod while a man on one of the towers directs the locations. A number of slender stakes can be to be seven and a quarter feet above mean low water. There is a break In the fill about 125 feet long. This spot, near the Pinellas shore, was left for a draw or bascule bridge, beingr built by the Hendry Corp. at Rattlesnake and to be transported to the location for erection.

This draw bridge crosses a channel on the route of the proposed inter-coastal waterway. When completed, the project will have three other small bridges which will not open. To Follow Shallow! The route of the bridge crossing is not a straight line but makes two bends In order to take advantage of the shallow water, said P. A. Hakman, resident engineer for the New York firm.

Bids to be received Tuesday will be for substructure on the main bridge, superstructure for the main bridge, construction of the north and south approach trestles and two smaller bridges. The main bridge span will be about 150-feet high where it crosses the main ship channel to permit ships to side for the roadway and that a firm is pre-fabricating two of the smaller bridge spans, one of them a draw Bids will be opened Tuesday morning by the State Road Department in the climax of a three-day celebration here. This total is expected to run about $18. 000.000. Most of this wi'J be for the mile-long.

An office was set up here a year and a half ago by Parsons, Brinckerhoff, Hall and Maccjonald and since then it employes have been walking over the bay bottom and using boats to conduct surveys and map the exact route.

At th outset of the engineering work, test borings of the bay bottom were made and samples obtained and test piles driven to provide the basis for the design of foundations. The many samples taken have been made available to the contractors bidding on the project. Scattered at strategic point in the bay along the route are eight survey towers. These are elaborate towers with rigid foundations so that wind and wave action will not cause any way leading to the main span. These stakes form the path for the Atlantic Dredging firm to follow in their dredging work.

So far the dredge has pumped up about 14.000 lineal feet of fill, beginning on the Pinellas County side at Maximo Point. Since beginning the job Oct. 14', the firm has continued operations on a 24-hour schedule and the four and a half miles of fill completed represent more than 50 per cent of the contract total of about 2.600,000 cubic yards to be pumped in. The dredge is getting sand by cutting a 160-foot wide channel, 12 feet deep, along the route. The glistening white sand fill makes' an impressive picture as it rises from the water's edge to a height of about eight feet.

Soon it will be graded for the road, with the crown of the road 'I mi 'y'j I it-ti ii niniiii 1 will be about 16 feet above water and 5832 feet long. The south trestle, or bridge, will be two miles long and will be on the Manatee side. Over-water distance will be about 12 miles long plus about three miles of roadway on the Manateee eide. The State Road Department several days ago obtained by court order title to lands in the Terra Ceia area for the road. State officials have joined with Florida senators in Washington in seeking steel for the project.

Without delays, motorists should be driving over the bridge in about three years. Star of "THE GREAT CARUSO" will ing: Wv Sotifg.
