Union Oil Company of California. Second Narrows Bridge construction. Two men from Roebling's Sons Company work with coils of wire that will be spun into cable for the suspension bridge. Bethlehem Pacific Coast Steel Corp. completed work on the towers by July 16, 1949, and turned operations over to Roebling's for the next phase. Catwalk cables had been suspended from the east tower to the anchor block by that time. (TNT, 7/17/1949, p.A-11)
