Bridge to the Future Under Construction in Central Iraq

An assembled section of a Mabey-Johnson float bridge is launched on a pontoon down the Tigris River June 1 during the construction of a new bridge near Salman Pak, Iraq. The pontoon carrying this span is ready to be positioned by Army watercraft from the 250th Engineer Company (Multi-Role Bridge), 367th Engineer Battalion, 36th Engineer Brigade and then filled with soil before it is sunk to hold the bridge in place.
