The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
awarded contracts for the construction of what
is expected to be the largest solid masonry
bridge in the world at u cost of at least ST.,
100000. The new bridge viii span the Sus-
quehanna river at Havre de Grace and Perry
vile and will replace the present structure.
1t will have As solid masonry arches of cut
stone, each of which will be ~ feet in the
clear, and give a total length when completed
of between 5000 and 300 feet. The width
will be sufficient for three tracks. 1t will
take several years to finish the work, but an
effort will be made to construct sixteen of the
arches before next winter. The iron struct-
ure, which will be replaced, was built in 1878,
and though strong enough to withstand heavy
trains, eventually it would lave to be renew
ed, and the management decided that the
work should begin at once.
