Bridge Books

The Bridge at QuÚbec:
by William D. Middleton

Sam Lindsey Jr. at one end of the Viaduct. Built in 1820 and rebuilt in 1900. This structure has a length of 2100 feet and a height of 301 feet.

Children acting as if it is a huge jungle gym.

Just a beautiful picture of the structure.

Reported on "The Bradford Era OnLine", 11 towers of the Viaduct collapsed on July 21, 2003 about 3:15 P.M.

Gene Strecht, regional engineer for facilities, design and construction for DCNR [Department of Conservation and Natural Resources], said about 50 percent of the bridge is down. "It probably went down like dominos," he said.

Thanks to David Newman for bringing this to my attention.
