Jasper County Democrat, Volume 4, Number 35, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 December 1901 — The Longest Stone Arch Bridge. [ARTICLE]

The Longest Stone Arch Bridge.

The work upon the great stone arch bridge which is being erected by the Pennsylvania railroad across the Susquehanna river at Rockville, about five miles above Harrisburg, is rapidly nearing completion. The masonry work of the bridge, consisting of forty-eight seventy foot spans, has been completed, and the contractors are now putting the asphalt covering over the arches. When this is completed, the work of filling in, grading and Dullasting will be begun and the four tracks put down. Work upon this the largest stone arch railroad bridge in the world was begun less than two years ago. —Philadelphia Record.
