Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book illuminates the history of the Delaware Aqueduct, a suspension bridge engineered by John A. Roebling and erected in 1848. Before the bridge's construction, the canal crossed the Delaware River via a dam and rope ferry, posing logistical challenges and frequent delays. The author explores how the construction of the aqueductâ"one of the first wire cable suspension bridges in the United Statesâ"revolutionized transportation of anthracite coal along the Delaware and Hudson Canal, enabling quicker transit times and larger cargo capacities. Roebling's innovative design and engineering prowess are central to the narrative, highlighting the significance of his contributions to the evolution of suspension bridge technology. The book delves into the challenges faced during the aqueduct's construction, including delays caused by landowners and the difficulties of working in a flood-prone area. The author also examines the impact of the aqueduct on the local community, providing a rich historical account of this remarkable feat of engineering. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
