Quebec Bridge Completed.

The general span Of the Quebec
cantilever bridge was successfully
bolted into place.
It links together the arms of the
largest bridge of its kind in the world.
The hoisting operation began Mon
day morning. The span, which
weighs 5000 tons, was lifted by hy-
draulic jacks distance Of $50 feet
from pontoons on the st. Lawrence,
river.
The completion Of the bridge marks
the end of the most stupendous un-
dertaking of its kind in history.
In 1907, when the first attempt to
build the bridge was under way, sir
ders of one Of the cantilever arms
buckled, dropping bridge and work
men into the st. Lawrence. More
than seventy lives were lost.
In September, 1916, another acci-
dent occurred. The cantileyer arms
had been completed, and the central
span was floated to the center Of the
river. Hardly had the work of lifting
the gigantic structure begun, when an
iron rod broke which plunged the span
into 200 feet Of water. Eleven men
lost their lives. The span raised is
the largest in the world.
