Bridge Building with the CCC, Part 2: Completing the Span

This continuation of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) documentary series focuses on further construction details of both a reinforced concrete bridge and a cable suspension bridge over an unidentified river.

Reinforced Concrete Bridge: Part 2 delves deeper into the finishing stages, showing the setting of railings, the application of protective coatings, and final checks to ensure the bridge's structural integrity.
Cable Suspension Bridge: For the suspension bridge, the film captures the tensioning of cables, the final adjustments to the bridge deck, and the installation of safety features, illustrating the culmination of the construction process.

Just like Part 1, this segment continues to emphasize the educational aspect for CCC members, showing them engaged in various skilled tasks like concrete finishing, operating heavy machinery, and performing detailed work like riveting and welding. This part further highlights how these young men are gaining invaluable trades that would serve them well beyond their time with the CCC, while simultaneously contributing to the nation's infrastructure.

"Bridge Building with the CCC, Part 2" not only documents the completion of these bridges but also celebrates the CCC's role in skill development and public works during the Great Depression.
