Bridge discussed was reinforced concrete arch construction with three spans, length 75 m; as new bridge was to be constructed on another site, concrete piers had also to be removed; work was carried out by blasting and cutting underwater and raising broken parts with floating dredge; considerable saving in time and expense is claimed; success, however, is dependent on employment of experienced divers.
