The Eastonian says: The contractors are progressing with their work on this road. On the opposite side of the Lehigh, at Easton, they are cutting down the abrupt point of rocks, and erecting a superb and immense pile of masonry at the side. The bridge over the Delaware will be completed with all possible despatch, by the enterprising gentlemen of Atwood, Cook & Co. This bridge will be a grand structure of several hundred feet in length. The road will be completed up the Lehigh as soon as possible, connecting us with the coal beds of the interior. It will be a road of easy grade, and able to carry almost any amount of coal.
