The Donjek River Bridge, Alaska Highway, Yukon

The Donjek River Bridge, at Km 1820. The width and unstable bottom of this river made the bridge one of the most difficult on the highway to engineer. It originally was 6 miles upstream, but the road had to be built over a lot of muskeg to get to that point. September 1990.
