All the piles for the new Ashburton traffic bridge have been cast, and by the end of last week piles had been driven in 27 piers out of a total of 33 (says the Guardian). There are 41 piles yet to be driven in the six remaining piers, and thia work should be completed within the next month. Work is proceeding steadily on ■ths erection of the bridge, and present indications are that it will be finished well within the contract date, April I'B, 1931. Better progress is now being made with the formation of the superstructure, and 12 of the 22 spans have been concreted. ■
