The studs, which are about four inches in diameter, an l ! are of the ?ame material as telegraph insulators, will be let into the streets flush with the road level and at intervals of between a f<xjt and two feet i'l a semi-'-ircle around the tour corners of the intersection. It is expected that a start will be made on the installation of tho studs to-day. In a fortnight's time the new reinforced concrete bridge over the Wailn 1 River will bo opened to traffic on tho Main North road at Winchester. The bridge was completed three weeks ago, bit alvjut five weeks is tho necessary time that it should be left before it will bo safe to carry traffic. Work is at present going ahead on tho formation of thf eastern approach .winch, when completed, will be four and a half chains long. After this is formed it will require a coating of clay and an application of metal before traffic will be allowed over it. The western approach has been completed and is of four chains in length. One of the men working on the earthwork told a reporter that it would probably be necessary for the contractor for tho approaches to add about half a chain more earthwork to the approaches of the Waihi Creek Bridge, which was opened to traffic somo three weeks ago. It is not at present served bv a long enough approach for the height of the bridge above the road level. _ The present approaches are two chains in length, and cars travelling oyer the [ bridpo receive a severe jolting in I passing from the road on to the approaches.
