“The High Bridge” at New York was built in 1837 to 1842 as an aqueduct for the Croton water supply system of the city under the direction of John B. Jervis, engineer. It consists of 16 full-centered (semi-circular) arches of 80 feet span each, on high piers. The total length is 1460 feet and the height above the river is 116 feet. The design is simple, the principal charm of the structure lying in its proportions and in the fine workmanship of its dressed stone masonry.
It is now (1927) found necessary to remove some of the piers of this bridge on account of interference with navigation of the river, an alteration which it is hoped will not mar its beauty. (Plate LXXX.)
