Men attach a sign to the newly constructed Bailey Bridge reading, "This bridge built courtesy of the 4th Engineer Battalion Fort Carson Colorado".
The Bailey Bridge was bridge in the mid 1960's (1967-1968) by the 244th Company of the 4th Engineer Battalion, United States Army Reserve based at Fort Carson, Colorado. Local men including Claude Gerard and Dan Koprinikar were part of the project. The Bailey Bridge was erected where the current roundabout in Avon, Colorado is today, directing traffic to Beaver Creek.
Koprinikar is pictured at left in a cowboy hat; Gerard has his back to the photographer with a coat on, facing Koprinikar.
