Lasting and Beautiful Bridges of Concrete
Builders claim concrete bridges cost about five times a wooden structure and will outlast wood, paying for themselves in twenty years. Caroline already has concrete bridges, culverts, and terra cotta water outlets along roads replacing wooden spans. Concrete bridges use stone cement foundations, granite-like abutments, and steel I beams, resisting decay and time. Government and railroads are building many such bridges as a lasting legacy for taxpayers and future generations.
