In the Park

Erection of the first sections of steel for the roadbed where it enters Stanley Park. Sections suspended on wire cables hanging from main cable.

First rough grading of roadway through Stanley Park near bridge-head. Now a fine concrete driveway.

Granite rocks were dumped inside the edge of this caisson before cement was poured. Pump is carrying off water that has seeped through.

Long distance lens gives close-up of painters and electricians putting finishing touches. Cable covering machine at work on left catwalk. These catwalks are steep!

Long-distance lens gives close-up of bridge construction on North Shore. Tower foundations nearly complete. Old P.G.E. [Pacific Great Eastern Railway] tracks show at right.

Painting quickly followed erection of steel. Painter shown at work on North Shore viaduct using spray-gun. Final coat is sea-green.

Rough grading of driveway through Stanley Park finished. Pathway banks have been seeded with grass

Scow load of granite blocks for facings of the two piers. The stone and cement piers measure twenty feet in height.

Sections of Bridge road-bed supported from main cables. Each section is raised from scows. Union Steamship passing.

The 61 strands in each suspension cable are secured to seven steel butts shown above. These butts are set in tons of solid concrete.
