The plan pmvido fnr a bridge 17S0 fief long, with side spans of 315 feet, which will make It the longest bridge lu tho world. It would bo built on spiral approaches, of u diameter of 40" feet, which would save 3000 feet of it- il estate on either side of the river. Tho grade of tho approaches would be about three to three and one-half per cent. Tim bottom of tho approaches would provide U nnn.ono square feat of tnrnge i-paco and ciV d he utilized either iih ti storage room or farmers' matket, while the toil or the spiral could be utilized a a public pier of 00,000 square feet of space. The bridge would have n clearance nf KiJ feet at Its center nnd nf 13". feet at the piers. The Government requires a clearance of 13.". feet. Tho cost of this tMie of btldge would bo $10,000,000 as inmpated with $18,000,000 estimated cost nf a hiiilgn without spiral n. I roaches. The plana were diawn by Dr. Ii.
