I have a question .

When reading the English text book, I came across the sentence below.

" He told the government how the citizens of New York would benefit from the

bridge. He added that he had designed the bridge to be six times stronger

than necessary. "

What words are omitted between than and necessary?

I guess the word such as "it was " are omitted there.

Am I correct ?
