Summary

Description
English: Orthographic views for the bridge over the Grand Falls of the Saint John River in New Brunswick, Canada. The lenticular bridge was designed by Joseph Tomlinson III and built by the New Brunswick Board of Public Works. The bridge collapsed just 17 days after its completion due to defective iron becoming brittle in cold weather.
