Army Reserve Engineers stand alongside the road with trucks full of supplies and building materials for the Bailey Bridge in Avon, Colorado. Pallets and other materials are on the ground and a frontloader is visible in the background.
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. The Bailey Bridge was erected where the current roundabout in Avon, Colorado is today, directing traffic to Beaver Creek.
