— T. Borrow, photo. TEMPORARY TRAFFIC BRIDGE, NORTH-EAST VALLEY. The Ohaio Creek, a tributary of the Leith, though of small dimensions in its normal condition, becomes a mountain torrent after heavy rain or snowfall, sometimes' overspreading its banks, and inundating the lower portions of the main road. Lately two bridges were carried away by its force, and our illustration shows a temporary traffic bridge just erected to take the place of one of them. The work was performed by Mr Sydney Drake (second from left) to plans prepared by Mr T. Arnold, Town Clerk and Inspector of Works to the Borough (first, left-hand side).
