Digital scan of a sepia-toned photo taken overlooking the bracings for the excavation dug along Randolph Street during the construction of the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, as taken from Woodbridge Street, facing south. The beams buttressing the sides of the buildings on the east side of the street also extend across the cut. Signs for United Trucking Service, and H. and G. Cartage are painted on the side of the building at the northeast corner of Randolph and Franklin. Riverside Lunch is visible on the northeast corner of Atwater and Randolph, and the Crane Company building is on the southeast corner. Barges, likely also involved in the construction, are on the Detroit River in the background. "Detroit and Canada Tunnel Contract - Section 5, Looking South from Randolph & Woodbridge Streets; Jul 19, 1929, 8B-102," was handwritten on the verso.
