High bridge, in New York, was com- pleted in 1842 and at that time was considered one of the world’s marvels of bridge building. It maj be added that it still is looked upon by bridge builders as a model of its kind. This great stone bridge was built to bring Water into the city from the Croton river valley after the great dam was thrown across it forty miles above Manhattan. The aqueduct, cut part way through solid rock and part way continued by tunnel. had to be brought across the Harlem, and the solution of this engineering problem was in High bridge.
