Kasilof Bridge Damaged by Truck
A Weaver Bros, truck-crane,
leased to Gilbro Construction Co.,
Anchorage, ran into the Kasilof
Bridge early Wednesday morning
and tore out the pmtal section.
The boom of the crane hit the
bridge which spans the Kasilof
l iver as the truck was- being driv
en from Homer to Soldotna be
tween 3 and 5 a.m. Driver of the
vehicle, Mr. Wilcox, employed by
Gilbro Construction Co., was un
hurt by the accident, according to
reports.
A big van freighter from lfom
tr couldn’t get through the bridge
following the accident. The driver
had to unhook the van and pull
it through on the dolly.
The maintenance crew of the
Alaska Highway Division was sent
to the bridge and with cutting
torches removed the damaged
steel sections hanging in the way.
The bridge had been weakened
somewhat but will not interfere
with normal traffic — providing
drivers will reduce speed and pro
ceed with care—says Ralph So
fa erg, foreman in charge of the
local maintenance section.
This is the fourth serious acci
dent on a bridge occurring in the
area covered by the local section
of the Highway Division during
the past two years.
The Moose Rivet* bridge was
so damaged that it had to be re
moved and a new bridge built.
The Kenai River bridge at Sol
dotna was damaged twice this fall
ami has not been repaired as
yet due to non-arrival of all ma
terials needed.

Although it is hard to estimate
damage in monetary terms until
■repairs are completed, the fore
man approximated bridge damage
in the four accidents will amount
to between $20- and $80,000.
