Comments :

There are three unequal spans of 25, 45, 80 feet and the deck is on a slope. This has been necessitated by the lie of the land, for there is a steep rock cliff on the south side but alluvial banks on the north. The triangular cutwaters are extended up into half-hexagonal refuges, one pair 11 feet wide and the other 15 feet. [1]
