Roosevelt Rhein river bridge at Wesel, Germany, June 13, 1945

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Roosevelt Rhein River Bridge at Wesel with lenght 1814 ft. completed April 1945,[1] build near the Major Robert A. Gouldrin Bridge. Alfred M. Beck et al. (1985), The Corps of Engineers: The War Against Germany, in Chapter 24: Into the Heart of Germany summarized:
This "Ninth Army’s fixed timber-pile highway bridge was placed about seventy-five yards upstream of the wrecked German bridge (the railroad bridge was about the same distance downstream) to take advantage of existing roadnets. The span was to carry three lanes—two-way Class 40 and one-way Class 70 traffic. The builder was the 1146th Engineer Combat Group, using the 250th, 252nd, and 1256th Engineer Combat Battalions, aided by detachments from ADSEC’s 1053rd and 1058th Port Construction and Repair Groups and a U.S. Navy Seabee maintenance unit."
