Scope and content
Progress shot of the work on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge during preliminary deck construction. Workmen this week were putting cable bands on the main cables and dropping suspension cables which would support the roadway. The Narrows Bridge was the third longest suspension span in the world. It had an aerodynamic design enabling it to withstand heavy winds. (TNT 2-26-1950 pg. 1)
