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. A Mark R. Hanna Company crane is on the west side of the frame. 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. A sign for the Belle Isle ferry, and the Detroit River are in the background. "Detroit and Canada Tunnel Contract - Section 5, Looking South from Randolph & Woodbridge Streets, 4 P.M.; Jul 30, 1929, 8B-112," was handwritten on the verso.
