Canterbury

City in East Kent, on the R. Stour, 56 m. e. Cantilever Bridge. New York, with a central span of 2,100 ft. The great advantage of the cantilever system is in ease of erection, false works being unnece ary for the central span. It is, however, probably not as well adapted to the longest est spans as the suspension system. The picture shows the bridge over the Hudson at Poughkeepsie, with spans of 525 ft.
