A little more perspective
The converted height is 84.2772 meters. The conversion preserves the source’s feet-and-inches dimension and does not imply a new millimeter-precision survey. High water supplies the datum, so the underwater foundations are excluded.
A single tower’s paired pointed arches and short deck section show the structure at this vertical scale. The bridge’s length, the clearance below the roadway and its anchorages are separate measurements that should not replace the tower’s stated height.
