It took seven decades, but the dream of the City of QuÚbec for a great railway bridge across the St. Lawrence was finally realized in 1917. More than 80 years later, the Quebec Bridge stands firmly astride the St. Lawrence, safely carrying the commerce of Canada across its broad waters. No one has yet built a longer cantilever span, so the bridge still ranks as the greatest of its kind ever built.

The Bridge at QuÚbec provides a fully illustrated account of the long effort to build a bridge across the St. Lawrence at this difficult site, with particular emphasis on the extraordinary story of the failure of the first bridge, its engineers and their fateful decisions, the terrible collapse of August 29, 1907, and the human tragedies that accompanied it, and the lessons that its story holds even today for engineers and builders as they continue to extend the boundaries of technology
