The Cantilever Bridge at Niagara Falls
The interest which has been taken by the profession in the construction of the Niagara Cantilever Bridge has led the writer to prepare this paper, in which he has endeavored to give a faithful account of the construction, and a full description of the work in all its details, and which is most respectfully submitted to the Members of this Society. On October 13th, 1882, the writer received a letter from the Central Bridge Works, of Buffalo, N. Y., requesting him to make a preliminary estimate for a double-track railroad bridge of 900 feet clear span, for the purpose of ascertaining the probable cost of bridging the Niagara River below the Falls, near the Railroad Suspension Bridge, intimating that a braced arch reaching from cliff to cliff might be the proper design for the proposed structure.
