New Iron Bridge Mt Harlem.

F,os; The scientific american. -,
new and peculiar iron draw-bridge Is now being
con, ructed over the Harlem River, on the line Of
the Tbird avenue, III this city. One day last week
we mad il visit, examined tue works under
nroofes, and the drawings OF the engineers, and,
,nJnpv from these, we believe that when completed
Il wi be the greatest structure Of the kind on our
continent, and perhaps in the world. The necessity
of building durable bridge in place of perlshable
wooden one, over this part of the river, where the
,ra between this city ard the country is 30 great
amonutiug, as we have been told, to 5000 vehicles
and 5 900 foot passengers daiy-had long been felt
II WAS intended at first to erect complete stone
trctnre, but the great depth OF the tidal river, 70
feet at this point, and its very unequal bottom, con.
tanning quicksands and large boalders, offered
serious difficulties TO the forming of coferdans, and
LAYING piers of masonry in the usual way. The
original design was therefore, changed to the pres
ent one, consisting in principle In constructing mas
sive solid abutments OF masonry at each shore, and
three piers in the river, formed of great cast-ron
hollow columns, built up inside with masonry al
supporting three large spans, composed OF iron Don
Qirders The total length Of the bridge VIII DC ~
feet, divided into thee spans the two SIDE o ne
fixed, tho central one forming rotary draw &c
feet in length, to permit steamboats, and other ves
eel. to pass on each side with clear wa'er'wa! "
