N. Y. Thru way Constructi on Job ^ Is Greatest Ever in This State Work on 535-Mile New York-Buffalo Toll Superhigh- way Goes Ahead Rapidly Towards Completion in 1954 ; Large Forces , Vast Materials Being Used The New York State Thruway, said to he the greatest construction project ever undertaken in this State , is rapidly taking shape along an ancient New York City-Buffalo route. The 535-mile superhighway, to cost approximately half a bil- lion dollars , directly and indirectly giving employment to many thou- sands of persons yearly, is to be completed in 1954 , according to the State Thruway Authority. A Completed section of Thruway, providing motoring ease and safety across the State. Top: Sketch of biggest single task to be undertaken in project—the 3-mile Tarrytown-Soath Nyack bridge across the Hudson River. total of 41 miles of the ultra- modern toll highway are now open to traffic , and by April 1 , 109 more miles will be under construction contract. Plans are in various stages of completion for the re- maining 267 miles. Though geared to the transpor- tation needs of the twentieth cen- tury, this superhighway follows a route carved out long ago by na- ture—the historic \ water level\ route along the Hudson and Mo- hawk valleys and across rolling hills to Lake Erie. This L-shaped line has been the scene of continuing advances in transportation and communica- tion; from early toll roads to the Thruway; from a primitive can- nonade-relay announcing the open- ing of the Erie Canal in 1825—to the trans-state coaxial cable and radio relay route being completed by the Bell System to offer the most modern means of communi- cation. ^ It has been said tliat the Thru- way will be to this century what the canal system was to the last; and that the building of the ex- pressway is no less colorfu l and dramatic than the digging of Clin- ton ' s Ditch. Extensive telephone and other modern communications are used in coordinating the labors of con- tractors , engineers and others scat- tered over the length of the trans- state highway, and in obtaining the supplies when and where re- quired. The nerve center of opera- tions, of course , is at Albany, where the directing Thruway Au- thority and the State Public Works Department are headquartered. Vast quantnties of construction materials will be required to com- plete the Thruway job. Over 7 , 000 , 000 barrels of cement , 92 , 000 tons of steel , 4 , 000 , 000 cubic yards of stone , 4 , 500 , 000 cubic yards of concrete will go into the Thruway proper. The 500-odd structures (overpasses , bridges , interchanges) will require 178 , 000 tons of struc- tural steel , more than a million barrels of cement , and a million cubic yards of concrete . % The Thruway is an enterprise of bigness in many ways. It is a com- plex task of far-flung operations. But it moves rapidly towards com- pletion as a unit. So , assuming the availability of steel in quantity, it is said the great highway will be a reality some three years hence. Built to the most exacting stand- ards of design and construction , the Thruway involves extensive engineering, p lanning and direc- tion of vast forces. Some 18, 000 persons are said to be employed yearly by contractors and others on the huge construction job , while another 20 , 000 are engaged , mainly at industrial plants , in pro- ducing the needed steel , concrete and other supplies. ^^I^III BSBMMH * ^ ^^*?
