The erection of the Carquinez Strait bridge, California
Toll bridge, erected at cost of $8,000,000, is of double-cantilever type with tower pier in middle of strait with two 1100-ft. spans on either side; depth of water of 100 ft. plus depth of mud of 30 ft. to bed rock, and tidal current of 9 miles per hour, necessitated difficult foundation work; timber caissons were sunk by open-dredge method, and inside this circular concrete piers were built.
