From the AB archives: 104 years ago, AB began constructing the Hurricane Gulch Bridge in Alaska. The project involved a 918’ long deck arch railroad bridge with a 384' arch span over the gorge. The arch was erected by the cantilever method, using derrick cars so that construction could proceed from both sides simultaneously. The bridge also included two 120' deck truss spans, one 50' plate girder span, and a 240' viaduct. The bridge has an elevation of 297' above Hurricane Creek and is the longest and tallest bridge on the Alaska Railroad. #BuildingGreatThings Southland Holdings - #bridges #historicalbridges #bridgeconstruction #engineeringfeats #alaska #historicalinfrastructure

From the AB Archives: 45 years ago, AB completed construction of the Hi Carpenter Memorial Bridge connecting Newport, OH to St. Mary, WV over the Ohio River. The 2,579' cantilevered truss roadway bridge carries Route 807 between the two states. The main span is 900' and the truss span is 1,800'. The bridge is named in honor of Hiram A. Carpenter, a well-known river-man from the area who ran a ferry between the two states. The proclamation naming the bridge the "Hi Carpenter Memorial Bridge" was officially read by Governor John D. Rockefeller IV, who said the original bridge between St. Marys and Newport was "created by the vision, drive, and talents of Hi Carpenter." #BuildingGreatThings Southland Holdings #history #bridges #bridgeconstruction #westvirginia #engineering
