Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to set forth in a general way, by using a specific case, the difficulties that engineers must surmount when it becomes necessary to replace an existing structure, which has become inadequate for the demands of modern service, with another structure capable of meeting present and future conditions. In this instance, the problem consisted of replacing a single-track, five-span bridge, 1800 ft. long and 100 ft. above water level, with a double-track bridge, on the same piers, without interruption either to railway traffic or river navigation.
