Ike arrangements standing in the center of
the river, and on them men engaged in
driving long piles down into the boxes.
These boxes are the cofferdams in which
the draw piers of the new Anacosta river
bridge will be built, and during the COM
ing months other coqerdams will be built
and piers rise in them until about fourteen
months from now fine structure will span
the river and afford the means of commune

building of the bridge was awarded py
the Commissioners of the Dstrict to the
Perm Bridge Company about four months
ago, but as yet comparatively little work
has been done on the new structure that
car be seen. though an immense amount OF
preliminary work has been disposed Of ana
everything is now ready Tor the showing
ahead of the bridge work.
As stated, the only work done on the puiid-
ing of the bridge is the two Golfer dams Tor
the draw piers, but the sites of the four
piers that will support the steel arches
ar, marked with piles, and early IN the
spr:ng the building of these PIERS will be
started.
In building the piers the same method will
be used as was used in the construction OF
the two bridges across the potomac ABOVE
:hr old Long bridge.
Cofferdams Necessary.
The watertisht cofferdam is first built and
then dredged to the desired depth. In the
coferdam piles are driven twenty-five OF
more feet down IN the bottom of the stream,
and around these piles is placed concrete
u form base on which the pier Will rest,
the difference in the substfuctufe OF the
Aracostia bridge and those over tnS foto-
mac being that the Anacost1a piers are
built of concrete entirely, while those OF the
other bridges are of stone.
Under an act of Congress, approved April
81 1901, the sum of SlCoo0o Is pFoVloed IoI
he building of the bridge, and In the act
of March 3, 1905. the cost of the bridge Is
limited to $4,000. The bid of the Penn
Bridge Company for the construction OF the
bridge was 1905 300 exclusive of the laying
OF the railway tracks across the bridge and
the paving between the tracks and two feet
Oh each side of them. For this work the ao-
dittonal sum of S2o,3 is to be PAID.
AS the appropriation for the construction
of the bridge is limited, the arch type OF
bridge with a lift draw, was designed pc
cause it was thought to be more artlsHc
and economical.
The bridge consists of six steel arch spans
having an opening of 129 feet 2 inches, and
of one lift draw span having n clear open
ing of 100 feet. The bridge Will nave 1ou5
ordinary piers supporting arch spans and
two main piers, each of which carry one
arch span and one-half of the draw span
The bridge terminates in two U abutments.
Concrete Piers.
The piers will consist of concrete through
