Excerpt from The Splendid Book of Engineering The completion of the great bridge over Sydney Harbour marks the end of one of the greatest engineering ventures of the present century. The authorities would not agree to a bridge with less than a single span as it was desired to preserve that wonderful entrance to one of the finest harbours in the world. The contract for the bridge was secured by the famous firm of Dorman, Long & Co., of Middlesborough, in the face of stern competition. The total cost of the bridge and its approach roads is not less than £6, 000, 000. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
