Shot on 8mm film in 1938, this archival footage captures a massive bridge construction project in Washington. Two large gantry cranes dominate the scene, moving along the elevated steel framework as workers assemble the structure. The grainy black-and-white image, framed by the film's edge, shows the scale of early 20th-century engineering. The cranes lift heavy beams across the water, with support towers rising beneath. This historic home movie offers a rare glimpse into mid-century infrastructure development.
