Scope and content
Apparently taken near dark from the beach area below, the second Narrows Bridge seems nearly complete and awaiting formal dedication. Dedication ceremonies are scheduled for October 14, 1950; the culmination of many years of planning and construction. The second Narrows structure replaces the bridge destroyed in a fierce storm on November 7, 1940. Photograph ordered by Bethlehem Pacific Coast Steel Corporation, one of the many firms involved in the bridge's construction.
