Leo Malone of Lake Placid is the contractor in charge of the work.

	Workmen under Mr. Malone are now rushing to completion the work on the approaches to the bridge so that everything may be in readiness for the scheduled opening. The new bridge was designed by John Sweeney. The approaches to the bridge are being widened. This it is believed will make driving at this point much less dangerous.
