OUVRAGES DART l33 fortes chaleurs, le soleil étant au zénith; le travail fut pénible.Le tablier, dune longueur totale de i04m5o, dune hauteur de7 mètres et dun poids de 45o tonnes, fut monté en un mois. Pendant ce temps, du matériel de voie avait été expédié engrande quantité vers le Pool, afin que la pose pût être continuéependant linterruption du passage des trains sur le pont. Le tablier fut alors levé au moyen de vérins hydrauliques deioo tonnes chacun, puis posé sur deux séries de sept galetsdoubles. Ces galets devaient tourner entre les deux files centralesde rivets des lisses inférieures des longerons, lesquelles files for-meraient guides. Quatre treuils de 5 tonnes, mus chacun parquatre hommes, avaient été fixés sur des entretoises du tablieret devaient tirer celui-ci en avant au moyen de câbles dacierpassant sur des poulies de renvoi attachées aux rails du côté deMatadi. ■ La masse métallique se mit en mouvement sans secousse etatteignit bientôt
