Alaska Road Commission

Cookman Collection #1

November 16, 1935

This overhead view is of men below the bridge in the foreground on the river ice before the overflow event occurred which disrupted the work. They are constructing forms for use in building the concrete piers of the bridge. Six men are visible. Close inspection reveals their personal carpentry toolboxes on the ground nearby. A burn barrel is also evident. Middle ground shows the frozen river with indications of the road constructed on the far shore. Steam from activity on the bridge at left drifts across the top of the image.
