WATERLOO BRIDGE
ANOTHER STAGE IN DEMOLITION British Official Wireless (Received February 5, 5.5 pm.) RUGBY, February 4. Another stage has been reached in the demolition of Waterloo Bridge across the Thames, rendered necessary by the subsidence of some of the piers supporting it. The work of demolishing the bridge began in June, 1934, some 200 men being engaged. All the arches of the bridge and the greater part of the stone work have now been removed, and the task of demolishing each pier and clearing away the foundation is to begin. Preparatory to this work the construction of a steel-sheet pile coffer dam has begun, inside of which demolition will proceed.
