! after seven years of work when
the structure was nearing com
pletion it gave way and sank to
the bottom of the river carrying
83 laborers with it. This was in
1907 and the accident threw the
syndicate into bankruptcy. In
1908 the Dominion of Canada
took up the task and awarded
the contract to the St. Lawerence
Bridge Company, Ltd., and this
is the Company now working
away on the-bridge. .
The first four years have been
devoted to the masonry and - it
will require about five years
more to complete the bridge.
The bridge is of the cantilever
type and contains one span which
measures 1,800 feet. This is the
loDgest single span ever attempt
ed. Th&'only thing in its class
is the Fourth bridge of Scotland
measuring 1,700 feet. The wat
er under the bridge is 200 feet
deep and the bridge when com
pleted will clear the water 150
feet. The middle or connecting
spaa of the bridge is 640 feet
long and will weigh 6,000 tons.
It is being constructed four mil
es down the river and when com'
pleted will be towed up the riv
er and hoisted into position. The
total weight of the bridge will
be 70,000 tons.
