A group of Army Reserve trucks and officers stand by in a large parking lot; trucks are presumably loaded with supplies or are prepared to carry supplies to the bridge construction site.
The Bailey Bridge was constructed 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, county commissioners at the time, were part of the project. Gerard would retire from the Army Reserve. The Bailey Bridge was erected where the current roundabout in Avon, Colorado is today, directing traffic to Beaver Creek.
