Transcript | THE BERLIN IRON BRIDGE COMPANY, Here we have a 45-foot span with a roadway 20 feet wide in the clear, built by us for the town of Derby, Conn. This cut represents a bridge built by us in Lycoming County, Pa., and consists of one span of 280 feet, with a roadway 16 feet wide in the clear. Please notice that in this bridge we use a triangular web system instead of the ordinary vertical post and inclined tie web system, as shown on the bottom of page 41. In this bridge the floor beams extend lengthwise of the bridge on the axis of the truss, and the joists are placed crossways—a very advantageous construction for long spans and narrow roadways.
