The Footbridge for Building the Cables of the New East River Bridge
The erection of one suspension bridge from which to build the cables of another has introduced new ideas and instituted a new procedure in the methods of constructing bridges of this type. The cables of the New East River Bridge No. 2, also designated as “The Williamsburg Bridge,” are novel in other respects. They are the largest suspension bridge cables ever attempted, and are suspended from towers taller than those in use in any other bridge. These towers are also distinguished by being the first large ones of steel to be used for this purpose.
