The ptnposed bridge would linndU
Conn trol oys and S000 automobiles per
hour.
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.
