Eight lines of Bailey trusses were assembled on shore in two sections, swung into position with shore-based guy derrick and decked with timber to provide 100-ft span, two-lane highway bridge over Patoka River in southwestern Indiana; bridge was completed in 48 days to serve as temporary crossing, following collapse of 68-year-old pin-connected truss bridge.
