Cookman Collection #1

October 16, 1935

Image is an elevated view of the bridge falsework in place taken from the mountainside upstream from the south end of the bridge. The piledriver sits on the approach at right under a cloud of white steam. Falsework pilings are in place for the length of the bridge, but temporary decking from the right appears to be complete for less than half the distance. Spruce trees are in foreground, the ice-covered river forms much of the middle ground. Gravel bars form the far side of the riverbed with heavy forest on the far shore and fog above.
