The famous ex Copper River & Northwestern Railway "Miles Glacier" or "Million Dollar" bridge is to be restored by the State of Alaska as a highway. The dramatic span paritally collapsed in the 1965 earthquake, yet has remained in some highway use as it lies in the river. Really! Rob Some images |

I saw that, but it looks like part of the old bridge deck to me. If it is a ramp, this is definitely not a ride for the faint-hearted. mw > If you take a close look at the dropped > span, there appears to be a ramp from the > abutment down to the deck of the span. > Alex p_michael_warren@yahoo.com |

Indeed, I have seen close-up photos and that ramp is the current "highway." > I saw that, but it looks like part of the > old bridge deck to me. If it is a ramp, this > is definitely not a ride for the > faint-hearted. > mw |
