8-Year Work.

ز

The largest arch bridge in the world is rapidly nearing the most important and momentous stage of its construction.

The two spans of the immense Sydney Harbour bridge, Australla, will be joined together-in-a-few weeks, but it will require another ho years

to complete the work, which was started in 1924. -

The bridge when completed will have a span of 1,650 feet, and will give a "headroom" of 170 feet above the water..

The design of this giant bridge is entirely British, and it is giving employment to more than 1,000 Britons. It is being construct ed by Dorman, Long, and Co., and all the steel used is being exported from England.
