Description

This view from the riverbed looking north shows the bridge in an oblique fashion from upper right to left center of the image. Four completed spans are visible with part of the sixth span close overhead. Five major concrete piers are visible with the broad side of pier #5 fully visible in the foreground. All the "falsework" has been removed. A man standing beside pier #5 lends relative scale to the massive structure. Part of the snow and ice-covered river is visible at right middle ground with heavy timber on the far shore. Mountains are slightly visible in background.
