On July 8th, 1915,the erection of themain shoe on the southshore started. Workin connection withthis part of the con-struction was greatlyfacilitated by the ex-perience gained. On November 12th, 1915, when the erec-tion programme forthe new Quebec Bridgewas finished for theseason, the northshore anchor andcantilever arms andthe south shore anchorarm including themain post, had beencompleted. The totaltonnage erected up tothat time amounted toapproximately 46,000tons, about 30,000 tons of which had been placed during the 1915 workingseason of seven months, from the middle of . to themiddle of November. The total quantity of steel in thebridge will weigh in the neighborhood of 65,000 tons, so.

Of this19,000 tons, the south shore cantilever arm contributes 13,000 tons and thesuspended span 6,000tons. XXork on the erec-tion of the south shore<*antilever arm wasproperly started aboutthe middle of April,1916, and at the timeof writing this article,the first pane! and ahalf, adjacent to themain pier, is practi-cally completed. It isexpected that the pro-gress of erection of thesouth shore cantileverarm will be approxi-mately as stated in theschedule on the fol-lowing page. The method of erec-tion of the south canti-lever arm is entirelythe same as that fol-lowed on the northcantilever arm, and,as noted above, it isexpected that thiswork will be finishedby the end of the firstweek in September,19111, when the bridgewill be in readinessfor the floa
