Album caption: This reinforced concrete-deck highway bridge across Twentymile River near Turnagain Arm of Cook Inlet fell into the river during the earthquake; the adjacent steel railroad bridge survived with only minor damage.

During the earthquake some of the concrete deck hit the underlying wood piling with sufficient force to drive the bare ends of the wood piles through the concrete deck.
