Calgary, Alberta, has recently solved problem of bridge construc- ton in a novel manner. The town lies on each side of the Bow river, that portion on the north bank being built on the high bluffs which border the river. To bridge the river on an in- cline to the top of the bluff would have been to neglect the portion of the city lying at the foot of the bluff. To make a deep cutting would have spoiled much of the property. The problem was solved by constructing a level bridge across the river, and then gaining the heights above by an in clined tunnel bored through the cliffs.
