Text Appearing Before Image:
cades provisoires, que des équipesde charpentiers bien entraînés étaient dailleurs arrivées à exé-cuter avec une rapidité extrême et a un prix fort réduit. La durée des aqueducs en acier paraît devoir être suffisante,puisquil y en a qui sont construits depuis quinze ans et qui sontintacts. Le remplacement éventuel des tronçons ne coûterait, ausurplus, pas très-cher, sauf, naturellement, dans les remblais dunecertaine hauteur. Arrivons-en aux particularités notables de la construction desponts. En raison du coût élevé des maçonneries de voûte et de ladurée de leur exécution, il na été fait au Congo, à une exceptionprès, que des ponts métalliques. Dautre part, les rivières ont, en général, à lépoque des hauteseaux, un courant rapide et des crues subites, qui atteignent parfois5 et 6 mètres en un jour; beaucoup dentre elles charrient alorsdes troncs darbres, qui sont entraînés avec une grande force. i/firiii\iM»«« !
