A REMARKABLE BRIDGE
IN some respects the most remarkable bridge
which has yet been constructed over the East River is the Blackwell’s Island Bridge.
Without reckoning the approaches it will be 7-10 of a mile long and will include five spans. Its heaviest member is 100 feet long and weighs 78 tons.
Some of the pins alone are 10 feet long, 16 inches in diameter, and weigh 3 tons each.
The Island span here shown is 630 feet long. Lewis Red Lead is used as preservative on all of the steel of the permanent structure.
We would like to talk metal preservative with you if you have any iron or steel structural work in hand.
