Smoky Bridge

The bridge over the Smoky River was built in 1949-1950 and was a major advancement to transportation to the south. Before the bridge, a ferry was used in the summer and an ice bridge in the winter but there were seasons in between when neither could be used. This shows the bridge as viewed from the ferry approach.
