***************************
On October 15, 1954 Hurricane Hazel severely damaged or washed out several bridges. A number of bailey bridges
were erected by Canadian Military Engineers. See more Sunday Bridges at San Francisco Bay Daily Photo.

This bridge is the last of those remaining in service. The supports were constructed from heavy lumber.

Nice bridges! It's good that some of them have withstood the test of time.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it may be one of the longest versions of the bailey bridges around (that I have seen, anyway)
ReplyDeleteAndy...Your bridge looks much more secure and inviting than my swinging one. Thanks for the kind words. I really love the old photo of you and Santa. I have one like that of me on his lap at about the same age. Precious. Genie
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, Andy! «Louis» has read a lot of WWII history, and is thus familiar with Bailey Bridges - but these are the best photos of them he's seen.
ReplyDeleteHe appreciates your contributions to Sunday Bridges.

The word verification is "bactypo". What is THAT? A pathogen-borne typo?!
;-D
Wooden supports are rare sighting.
