Abstract
The bridge on the line of Walnut Lane, Philadelphia, over Wissahickon Creek, is notable for the great size of its main arch, for the novelty of some of its features, the character of its material, and the method of its construction. It is hoped that a description of it, with a discussion of the principles of its design, the reasons for its special features, and the lessons learned in the course of its construction will be of interest to the Profession.
