Abstract
It is appropriate that the engineers responsible for the construction of the longest fixed arch span built to date should give the engineering profession a record of the design and erection of that monumental structure. The selection of the proper bridge to be built at this crossing involved not only the economics of materials and erection but also that elusive item, the economics of appearance. The problem of esthetics was solved in this case by selecting the graceful arch structure for the main span, and approach spans which, in the opinion of the architect, harmonized with the surrounding structures particularly on the Canadian side.
