Delta piers for Spring Street Bridge are taking shape as the reinforcing steel fans out on the number 11 pier on the Iowa side of the river. Grading for the Nebraska approach can be seen in upper background. The substructure is scheduled for completion by July, 1971. There are 11 piers in the plan with two piers in the river. The work is being done by Jensen construction Co. of Des Moines, which started in February. Nonpareil photo by Jack Kennedy.
For pier number 9 a cell 90 feet in diameter is being formed with sheet piling. It will be filled with sand before construction of a coffer dam. Thirteen caissons, six feet in diameter, will be augured 99 feet to bed rock, and continue 11 feet into the rock. The Missouri River at this point runs about 45 feet deep.
With five of the 11 piers for the new Interstate 80 Highway completed, and work on the other six piers well along in varying stages, crews for the Jensen Construction Co. of Des Moines have lost no time from weather this past year. Looking toward Nebraska from the Iowa side, pier 11 is in the foreground at left.
Work on the Interstate 80 bridge at Spring Street is now centered near the Nebraska end, with less than 400 feet of deck to be paved. This picture shows the section of the bridge between a paving machine and the Nebraska abutment, which is partially decked. Other work to be done includes some curb and median, small sections of expansion joints and the usual cleanup, to complete the 2, 4362-foot span. Work started on the decking March 1 and should be completed by Nov. 1, Supt. Harold Tompkins said. Nebraska in the meantime is working on the paving that will connect the bridge and existing route I-80.

Organization of the Emanuel Lutheran church was effected on Nov. 20, 1890, at the German Lutheran church on Seventh avenue. Fifteen persons formed the first congregation, of which six were men, three were women and the remainder were children. They had been ministered to previously to formal organization by Rev. J.A.

Ahlstrand, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Nelson, Mr. and Mrs. Nels Swanson, Mr. and Mrs. Perry Ekberg, Peter Nelson and Lars Hanson. The first meetings were held at the German church and alter in Danebo hall. A small hall at 37 North Main street was next engaged for meeting purposes. In September of 1891 a building committee was elected. In February of the following year the lots at Seventh and Mill streets were purchased for $2,000. Cornerstone of the present church was laid in September of 1893. The first service was held in the basement of the church during the same month. The first service in the church proper was held in August of 1895 although the church was not dedicated until 1897. During the building program the membership of the congregation was between thirty-five and forty. The congregation now has 207 members. The following pastors have served the church: C.G. Widen, J.E. Rydback, P.M. Lindeen, S.G. Larson, A.A. Magnusson, B.M. Glim, E.N. Glad, E.J. Holt, Carl Henderson, C.W. Segerhammar and N.E. Hedeen, present pastor.
