August 19, 1936

This image shows the completed approach to the Knik River bridge as seen from the upstream side. Foreground shows flood water with a bush, a stump, and part of a gravel pile showing above the water. The bridge approach crosses the image at middle ground with the gravel embanked section at right leading to the piling-supported open wooden section at left. A bus and a car are apparent on the gravel section proceeding north toward Palmer. The steep forested mountainside is in background with early morning sun highlighting rugged ridges and a valley slide path.
