Transcript | THE BERLIN IRON BRIDGE COMPANY, The above cut represents one of the finest bridges to be found anywhere in this country, which was built by us at Nashua, N. H., in 1883, across the Merrimac river, and consists of one span of 170 feet, one span of 160 feet, and one span of 150 feet, with a roadway 20 feet wide in the clear, and one sidewalk, six feet wide in the clear. This was the second bridge we built across the Merrimac river, and since it was finished, we have built three others of greater length than this. The above cut represents a Pratt truss built by us some years ago for the city of New Haven, Conn., and consists of one span of 101 feet, with a roadway 22 feet wide in the clear, and two sidewalks, each six feet wide in the clear. The floor beams are placed above the. lower chord, and securely riveted to the web posts. The bridge presents a very ornamental appearance, and from the rigid connections used, is very stiff.
