New Bridge Opened In Ceremonies: Mrs. Guy C. Larcom Jr., wife of the city administrator, gets an assist from Mayor Wendell Hulcher in opening the new Huron Parkway bridge in ceremonies held yesterday. They cut a yellow and blue ribbon at the bridge's south side to permit two busloads of dignitaries to cross the new structure. Looking on at left are R. A. Little (black coat) of Commonwealth Associates, Inc., consulting engineers who designed the bridge, and Walter Toebe, head of the contracting firm which built it. A group of approximately 30 people watched the proceedings, in spite of cold and blustery weather.

Parkway Bridge Nears Completion: Approaches to the Huron Parkway bridge are finished, except for installation of guard rails, and the bridge itself is nearing completion for its Nov. 15 grand opening. This photograph, taken looking south, shows traffic using the north approaches to the bridge but being unable to make the through-trip. Yet to be completed on the bridge is the linseed oil treatment of the concrete, installation of a parapet wall, installation of hand railings, and painting of the steel structure. The sidewalk on the bridge will also be open for pedestrian traffic on Nov 15.
