Construction of one mile of expressway in Toronto, included grading, drainage, retaining walls, and temporary asphalt surface placed on southbound lane, including crossovers from northbound ramps; tight 190 ft right-of-way on this section of expressway required building of mile-long stretch of blank concrete retaining walls with beveled indentations which create shadow effects to relieve monotony; soil cement placed in 5 in. base on both cut and fill sections is being used and final surfacing of roadway calls for 8 in. of reinforced concrete over 2 lanes in each direction at present, other 2 lanes will be paved as traffic demands.
