- State Bridge collapse
- "Twice, during its useful years, sections of the bridge collapsed, once in 1929 and again in June of 1946 when this picture was taken. By then its age was beginning to show and some weak places had developed and there was talk of condemnation, it being unsafe for heavy loads. So it was no great surprise to anyone when truck driver Jim Jardy hauling a heavy bulldozer mounted on a low boy found one of those weak places and dropped through. Jardy and Bernard Ginther, operator of the bulldozer, were extremely thankful that they did not go into the river which was then at flood stage. As it was, no one was seriously injured." -- McCoy Memoirs p.88 [Title supplied from catalog prepared by the Eagle County Historical Society.]
