The HiGnEsr PoSTs. What will be |
the highest point in the new bridge |
above low water mark, is an interesting |
question, the answer To which will sur. |
prise most OF our citizens. Over the |
second and third piers, the two on the |
opposite sides Of the Willamette, the steel |
frame work Sill rise l3l feet above low |
water. The height Of the two piers will |
be G6 feet, while the frame work OF steel |
Will rise within one foot Of as mucl |
| higher. This is part Of the cantilever |
style, and is one Of the things that goes
to make the bridge so strong. The en-
trance TO the bridge will be very at
tractive steel arch.
