Alaska Road Commission

Cookman Collection #1

July 24, 1937

Image shows an alpine setting with a small wooden bridge in place at foreground with large angular rocks placed along the near side. The bridge appears essentially complete with heavy single lane runners in place on the deck and low bumper rails at the sides. It appears that additional rock fill is needed at the far end before roadway gravel will be added on both ends of the bridge to form the road crossing. Two men are apparent on the near hillside beyond the bridge using hand tools to construct a ditch above the future roadway, or possibly beginning the cut slope for the future road.
