Looking down on dump truck with portable bridge in the back. Note the old concrete bunker between the river and the truck.

The river under the bridge was a great swimming hole. The water was 15 to 20 feet deep and was cool and refreshing. Marines are 11th Engineers preparing to get to work setting up the bridge.

The road in the foreground is coming from Ca Lu. It continues out the right side of the photo crosses a portable bridge and then continues back up the other side of the gorge on its way to Khe Sanh. The old Bailey bridge was hazardous even to foot traffic. Note the Lima Marines crossing the bridge. Duster is from C-1/44^th.
