Great Connecticut Bridge Lauded In Historic Review
The last stone is laid on a great new bridge over the Connecticut at Hartford. It rivals the London Bridge in scale with nine spans, 119 foot main reach, 46 foot arch rise, and total length 1,192.5 feet, costing about 3 million dollars. Comparisons note wider spans elsewhere but emphasize overall size, symmetry, and engineering perfection as the Hartford structure’s claim to eminence.
