The Foundations for the Brooklyn Anchorage of the East River Bridge
The front face of the Brooklyn anchorage of the East River Bridge is 930 feet from the centre of the tower. The base at the front and for 85 feet 6 inches back, has a width of 109 feet 4 inches. At this point, the width is increased 10 feet for an additional length of 46 feet 6 inches, the total length being 132 feet, and the extreme width 119 feet 4 inches. The base is a timber platform of 3 feet thickness, thoroughly bolted. The lower course is laid transversely, with 1-inch spaces, the second longitudinally, with 2-inch spaces, and the third transversely, with 4-inch spaces. All spaces are thoroughly filled with cement mortar or concrete, and the platform is entirely surrounded by concrete. Below this platform are bearers placed longitudinally, with about 9-feet spaces; the bottom of these being at the level of high tide in the East River.
