The Portage Viaduct was built in the spring and early summer of 1875. The Marent Gulch Viaduct was built in the fall of 1884: and the following winter. The height of the iron work at the highest tower is practically the same for the two viaducts, and the length of the viaducts is also very nearly the same. The Portage Viaduct was built in the hurry of a pressing necessity, with little time to investigate relative economies or to prepare well considered plans. No such haste existed in the case of the Marent Gulch Viaduct, and the plans were carefully considered and worked out. The Marent Gulch Viaduct, therefore, represents ten years' advance in iron viaduct construction, besides such improvements as careful preparation always gives opportunity for.
