New information on the Bridge Too Far

The plaque reads "Vehicle Load Limit, 5 tons. Continental Bridge, Alexandria, MN." This particular span is at a golf course in San Jose, California, called Boulder Ridge. There is also one in Cupertino and it crosses a stream near the road. And there is one by the ocean in Half Moon Bay which is about 20 minutes south of San Francisco. San Francisco has Rice-a-Roni and Alex builds walking bridges for the nation. Hooray for Alexandria! Where is the manufacturing plant? At Carlos Corners, according to correspondence from Kathleen Pohlig. When Ruth Obert mailed her this photo, Kathleen responded:

Hi Ruth,

Bruce owned Continental Bridge for many years but sold it in the Fall of 2000 and left there in summer 2001. It is fun to see and hear about the bridges people run across around the country. I think there are over 8000 of them, well, more by now. The company is at Carlos Corners north of Alex and Mark Becker does work there, or at least he did last time I knew.
